Published: Aug. 29, 2020, 5 p.m.

In this episode of the Roald Dahl Retrospective, Patricia and Arun discuss about the 1995 BBC TV special Roald Dahl's Little Red Riding Hood based on the 1982 book Revolting Rhymes, a series of different interpretations of classic fairy tales. It stars Ian Holm, Julie Walters, and Danny DeVito. A wolf named Wolfey is hungry and wanders into Little Red Riding Hood's grandma's house to find something to eat, only to eat her. Meanwhile, a sow and a sheep kidnap baby pigs and lambs into their truck.
