Small Objects of Desire

This was an excellent, informative and entertaining little show presenting the often twisted histories of everyday objects. Presented in a highly accessible and humorous way, it is shame that it did not continue for longer than its run - I'm not even aware that the show has been repeated.

With the imaginative and (for its day) innovative use of animation and graphics, as well as a memorable and informative commentary, this is highly recommended for those looking to garner interest in the history of everyday items, and it would certainly be suitable for older children.
