The Queen's Nose

My 8/10 rating goes purely for the earlier series, with Harmony and Melody, going up to the time when they were staying on their relative's boat.

All series since then have gone down, mainly because of the absence of Harmony, and also because they decided to have a full cast of little kids with the coin.

For years we had Harmony as the owner of the 50p coin. As a child, I loved to watch The Queen's Nose - it was one of my favourite programmes, and hearing the theme music now brings back a whole host of memories for me =]

It had charm and sophistication, unlike its later series, and great contrast between the two very different sisters, Harmony and Melody.

I am also fond of it for my earliest memories of Liz Smith =]

I would agree with those of you who dismiss this programme as a complete waste of time, if you have only seen the more recent series.

How about you write to CBBC asking for re-runs of the earlier editions?

There's nothing wrong with that =]]

The first time I experienced the Queen's nose was when one of my all time favourite teacher (Mr. Ryan) read us the book in school.

He'd read us a couple of classics like the Iron Giant and The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe but it was the Queen's Nose by Dick King Smith that caught my attention and subsequently it was the first book I ever brought with my pocket money.

Years later I found out it was going to be a CBBC as a series and I told everybody to watch to the point of annoyance.

The first season of the Queen's nose is; although not 100% faithful to the book, is everything a fan of the story could have wanted. The second and Third gave us a glimpse of the characters lives and; I think was honest to the feel of the story.

That having been said I only recommend the first three seasons because it did get a bit silly from there.

The Queen's Nose is a rather silly programme from the BBC and everybody just acts stupid at times.

This is about a group of children that find a coin (a 50p I think) than can grant wishes.

I don't really understand what this is about and where did that coin originate and how come it has special powers?

The BBC have made some good children's programmes over the years but The Queen's Nose has to be one of the worse. Also, what a stupid name for a programme. Whoever thought of The Queens Nose for the title wants their head examining.

Looking at the cast list, I'm rather surprised to see one of Britain's best loved actresses amongst the cast: the late Dame Thora Hird.

To sum up, a rather stupid programme.

when this first came out i loved it! the first 3 series were great but since Harmony left the The Queen's Nose has gone to someone else it's not so good. they don't seem to repeat the first 3 but i think they should. it brings back memories of my childhood, like The Demon Headmaster and Ghosthunter and Out Of Tune. the BBC should repeat them more because they never do.

i'm not sure if they've got DVD of this out but if they don't they should. or at least the first 3. they were brilliant because it was original and had lots of action but now it's getting a bit the same and boring. or it might be cause i'm getting too old for it.

We all had a 50 pence piece at one time in our lives and we made a wish by rubbing the queens nose. Eventually, the nose began to fade, so did the wishes and then so did this amazing, brilliant TV show. I first watched this series while it was still in production in 1995, I was hooked and absolutely loved it! However, the earlier series are more better, this is what attracted me to the show. Victoria Shalet (Harmony) & Heather-Jay Jones (Melody) played the sisters, they tolerated each other but what 2 sisters don't? The series was the best when it centered around Harmony and her 50 pence piece, but as the series grew, more characters started to come into the show & that's when it sort of changed - the coin fell into someone else's hands (Ella James) and I didn't find the show as interesting. I still think the show is definitely a 10/10 because of its originality and like I've already mentioned, the original cast in the earlier series were great to watch! It's just a shame they don't make TV shows like this no more.
