redactus

Fry resurfaces in an updated version of The Borrowers as a batty anthropology professor trying to get the little people Homo sapiens redactus out from under the floorboards and on to his dissecting slab, helped by the business end of grumpy grandma Victoria Wood's screwdriver.

Thus begins a plot that involves the escape of the Clocks to a city of Borrowers in a defunct tube station, pursuit by the villainous anthropology Professor Mildeye (who was a villainous Gypsy who turned up in the second book, but you can't do that sort of thing these days, and especially not when he's being played by Stephen Fry) who is bent on making his name in the world by proving the existence of "Homo sapiens redactus", entrapment (of Homily and Pod) in a laboratory beaker and rescue by Arrietty and Spiller, a character from later in the book series who has transmuted from reticent repository of country lore to ebullient wide boy (played by ebullient wide boy specialist Robert Sheehan, giving it his customary joyous and joy-inducing all), in James's remote-controlled plane.
