"Smalll children in particular work in much shorter dimensions of time than adults. Tomorrow is a long way off, next week an eternity away. In stort-telling programmes, drama serials, or feature films divided into several episodes, the dramatic installments should be treated with caution. Young Children often regard each installment as complete in intself and may not be able to see or may even avoid subsequent episodes which could provude the resolution to the situation.
For reassurance that the characters with whom they identify are safe.
If regular and well-loved presenters of factual childrens programmes are involved in violent situations, care must bre taken to show that they are safe and well afterwards.”
“I Didn’t Like it at all,
I didn’t understand it,
I didn’t know What Was Happening —
You know, it was kind of sort very romantically-put that he was regenerating into a new body, because as far as I was concerned, he was dying and I would never see him again….
…of course, that lasted for all of about five minutes, because I had completely forgotten who William Hartnell was within about four episodes of the new Doctor Who…!”

“I love this sparkle thing….
Maybe it has like, The Imagination of The CHILD in Him…
…Sparkle Dust.
We’ll worry about Clark Kent, later.”
“….and what that came out of was…
….there is a group of “fans”, of the films -
That Don’t LIKE Comic Sidekicks.
They Like the films to be tough, and like Terminator, and y’know, be real Guy Movies —
And they get very, very upset — and very opinionated — about anything that has anything to do with being Childlike — and
The Movies are for CHILDREN,
but they don’t want to admit that —
Or, they don’t want to have Comic Sidekicks in these movies.
…..and in the first movie, they
absolutely HATED Artoo and Threepio.
Now, Jar-Jar’s getting accused of the same thing.”
— George Lucas
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying,
Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Come away, O Human Child,
to The Waters of The Wild —
For The World’s more full of Weeping,
than You could understand….
