I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

(Ok, so none of these comments actually explain this show!) Well this show is 25 minutes of a 40-something man who runs a B&B at the seaside with a talking pet Badger and a talking mouse called Mousy. Badger is always up to no good scaring the guests at the B&B and their annoying old woman neighbour... the man usually has to sort out Badgers antics which are a laugh. Strangely enough the badger has a obsession with Mashed Potato which is what this show is based on. Great for anyone 10 and under, currently they are re-running this on the CBBC channel but I doubt kids will wanna watch this as it is visibly aged since new shows like Big Kids and Ace Lightning which have proved to be a success. The CBBC channel is currently replaying all 90's shows like Bodger&Badger, Wildhouse, Queens nose etc... this is the funniest.

this was an extremely bizarre show; a bloke and his badger do weird things. each series was set in a different place (a school, a zoo, their house), each packed with secret tunnels for badger and mousie (a later character who irritated me). most of the action revolved around badger coating bodger with mashed spuds, laughing like Frank Bruno, then doing it again. kid's tv, but not of the magic roundabout ilk - no fun for the rest of us. (I was 6 when it first played).

Bodger and Badger was made in 1989, i didn't mind this programme, i first saw this in 1997, i watched it on children's cbbc, a uk channel for bbc one. I give this programme at least 7 out of 10 as i think it wasn't a bad series.
