Ah, I take it Jackanory didn't make it over the Atlantic then?   

Well, I think Harry Potter would have gone down a storm and put the viewing figures into the millions for the programme, long, long before the Philisopher's Stone hit the big screen.  

Every weekday evening, when I was young *sigh*, famous and/or reputable actors and actresses such as Jason Carter, read stories on TV.  Just that, reading stories directly to the camera, from an autocue *I think* or casually with book in hand, much the way people read HP canon to their youngsters now.  A Potter book length would be spread over a period of time stopping off at crucial moments.

Many now famous actors started there, so I must find out if Severus Snape *AR* did a stint at some time in the past.  I also have a vague feeling Professor MacGonagall *MS* might have.....

  Alas, I have no idea of what Jackanory is! :(

  It's not gonna hurt.  I'll try calling the DGA at lunchtime (in about 
  an hour or so). :)
