The BBC can announce the commission of Gangsta Granny Strikes Again! an adaptation of the hugely popular 2021 children’s book written by David Walliams. Gangsterimummin kuolemasta on kulunut vuoden verran, kun Lontoota alkaa repiä uusi ryöstöaalto. Ensin katoaa Tutankhamonin naamio British Museumista, eivätkä muutkaan kansallisaarteet ole turvassa nokkelalta varkaalta. Naapurustossa asuva herra Parker on edelleen vakuuttunut Benin syyllisyydestä, ja sen seurauksena sankarimme huomaa olevansa keskellä vauhdikasta seikkailua. Lisäväriä tapahtumiin tuovat salaperäinen musta kissa, Thamesissa kelluva jäävuori, seniorimopo, kebabia syövä hummeriasuinen rouva, paritanssista turhan paljon innostuneet vanhemmat ja tietysti myös kaikkien Walliams-romaanien vakiohahmo, vanhentuneita makeisia kulmakaupassaan myyvä Raj.

David Walliamsin Gangsterimummi saattaa olla eräs suosituimmista alakoululaisille vinkkaamistani kirjoista koskaan. Niinpä olinkin tyytyväinen, kun huomasin kustantajan listoilla jatko-osan "Gangsterimummi iskee jälleen" (Tammi, 2023). Look at the graph of told-offness in Chapter 27. Could you make your own graph about a similar topic? Cabbagy Water stereo. Inevitably, a Strictly CD was playing. 50 Golden Greats from the Hit TV Show was emblazoned on the cover. Ben hated the CD, not least because he had heard it a million times. In fact, he had heard it so many times it was like torture. Ben's mum worked at the local nail salon, 'Gail's Nails'. Because there weren't many customers, Mum and the other lady who worked there (unsurprisingly called Gail) spent most days doing each other's nails. Buffing, cleaning, tnmmmg, moisturising, coating, sealing, polishing, filing, lacquering, extending and painting. They were doing things to each other's nails all day long (unless Flavio Flavioli was on daytime TV). That meant Mum would always come home with extremely long multi­ coloured plastic extensions on the end of her fingers. 15 How might granny be feeling when she hears Ben tell his parents that he doesn’t want to stay with her? Think of different words to describe her emotions. Draw a picture of how granny’s face might look at that time. The illustrations in ‘Gangsta Granny’ by Tony Ross are lovely, however they don’t quite compare with those from the wonderful pen of Quentin Blake in ‘Mr Stink’.

In Chapter 5 there is a timetable for ‘granny’s hectic life’. Could you create a new, more exciting timetable with lots of different activities at various times each day? Could you make up some questions for others to answer about your timetable (e.g. How long does a particular activity last?)?

One day, Ben calls his parents at Granny's house and asks them to take him home. Mum and Dad ignore Ben and disapprove of the proposal. Granny somehow overhears the conversation due to the indistinct sound made by Ben while he was talking. The next morning, his Granny seems somewhat upset and disappointed thinking that her grandson doesn't love her. Cabbagy Water \"Are Mummy and Daddy not coming in?\" she asked, a little crestfallen. This was one of the things Ben couldn't stand about her: she was always talking to him like he was a baby. Broom-broom-brroooooooooommm. 1,'ogether Granny and Ben watched the little brown car race off, leaping over the speed bumps. Mum and Dad didn't like spending time with her any more than Ben did. It was just a convenient place to dump him on a Friday night. \"No, erm... Sorry, Granny... \" spluttered Ben. \"Oh, well, come in then,\" she muttered. \"Now, I've set up the Scrabble board and for your tea, I've got your favourite... cabbage soup!\" Ben's face dropped even further. Noooooooo 000000000! he thought.

He goes home and now can't wait to see his grandma again to find out about these jewels. But when his dad rings Granny up, she says she's too busy that evening to have Ben sleep over. Umso spannender ist dann natürlich die Frage, wie die Gangsta Granny abermals zuschlagen kann. Und davon muss man sich einfach überraschen lassen, denn es war wirklich unerwartet. This follows on from the success of Grandpa’s Great Escape, Awful Auntie, Demon Dentist, Ratburger and Gangsta Granny. All went straight to Children’s number one on release with Gangsta Granny and Billionaire Boy selling over a million copies to date. We have a quirky eleven-year-old protagonist in Ben, a boy who dreams of becoming a plumber despite his pushy parents’ star-addled desire for him to become a professional dancer. Ben hides his plumbing magazines under his mattress in much the same way as some young lads used to hide porno mags before the Internet made them almost completely redundant (or so I've heard).

Last on

What a lovely book by David Walliams. 'Gangster Granny' has it all...funny bits...exciting bits..and sad bits. I have just finished reading it with my daughter who is in year 4 and she absolutely loved and couldn't put it down. Write about one of the adventures that granny might have had when she was the most wanted jewel thief in the world. Jo Sargent,Executive Producer, says: “We’re excited to be bring the next instalment of David’s Gangsta Granny to the screen with such a stellar cast on board, and to find out what Ben and friends, old and new have been up to since we last saw them.” A Little Broken \"Aaaahhhhkkkk... pfffttttt... aaaaaahhhhhhk kkkkk . . . pppppppptttttt... \" No, reader, you haven't bought the Swahili edition of this book by mistake. That was the sound Ben was waiting for. Granny snoring. She was asleep. \"Aaaaaahhhhkkkkkkk... pppppfffffffttttttt... aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhkkkkkkk... \" Ben crept out of his room and made his way over to the telephone in the hall. It was one of those old style telephones that purred like a cat 47

Mystery and Wonder Ben wasn't at all sure that Raj was right about Granny. That night it was the same old story. Granny served up cabbage soup, followed by cabbage pie and for dessert it was cabbage mousse. She even found some cabbage-flavoured after-dinner chocolates'=· somewhere. After dinner, Granny and Ben sat down together on the musty sofa as they alway s did. \"Scrabble time!\" exclaimed Granny. ,:-cabbage-flavoured chocolates are not as nice as they sound, and they don't sound that nice. 39

Granny’s door makes a ‘Clunk’ sound as it is closed. Can you think of other words that describe a sound (e.g. oink, bang, swish)? Their journey in crime is extremely entertaining, especially when they met the Queen.The language is conversational so it is easy to get swept along in the narrative but sufficiently peppered with vocabulary that could challenge years 3 or 4 in some places. Little Britain’, which he co-created with Matt Lucas, started on Radio 4 and soon progressed to BBC1. The show has won numerous international awards including three BAFTAs, and now plays in over 100 countries. ‘Little Britain Live’ performed to a million people in the UK, Ireland and Australia. David and Matt followed ‘Little Britain’ with the hugely popular spoof airport documentary series 'Come Fly With Me'. Gangsta Granny \"Because prancing around like that is stupid,\" said Ben. Mum whimpered a little, and reached for a tissue. \"You're upsetting your mother. Now just be quiet please, Ben, there's a good boy,\" replied Dad firmly, as he turned up the volume on the 14
