Little Crackers + 10 Minute Tales

A few years ago, just before the end-of-year holidays, Sky began airing a series of short films called 10 Minute Tales featuring some well-known actors (Timothy Spall, Stephen Mangan, Liza Tarbuck, Mackenzie Crook, Julia Davis, Lyndsey Marshal, Angela Griffin, Bill Nighy, Claire Foy, Peter Capaldi, Elizabeth McGovern). As I recall, that first year they all had a holiday theme to them....some quite touching and others good comedy. The next year they changed the name to Little Crackers and they featured supposed childhood memories of various actors, some concerning Christmas, some not. One memorable film is Dawn French's Operation: Big Hat which is a true story from her early childhood  when her family was chosen to host a quick military base visit by the Queen Mother. The end of the film features an actual color home movie of the event.
