| | |  Ballet Shoes viewing figures & reviews
Ballet Shoes, a 1930s drama starring Emma Watson, aired on December 26th on BBC1 and drew in, on average, just over 5 million viewers. Quote:
Over on BBC1, family drama Ballet Shoes picked up an average of 5.2 million and 22% (audience share) between 8.30pm and 9.55pm.
More reviews have emerged since the airing. The Financial Times refers to Emma's performance as Pauline Fossil as "terrific" whilst The Telegraph said, Quote: Ballet Shoes was certainly well done, not least because it confirmed how good child-actors are these days.
The highest praise of all came from TV Scoop. Quote:
Not a whole lot happens, but as I said earlier, the real enjoyment came from the acting of the girls playing the sisters. As the eldest, Pauline, Emma Watson has instantly stepped out from the shadow of Hermione Granger and shown herself to be incredibly talented.
If you live in the U.K., the drama can be watched here via the BBC's iPlayer service. (The relevant software to do this can be found here)
We're currently uploading screencaps from the piece, which will be available for your viewing pleasure soon.

Yeah Yasmin was definitely the better actress. I didn't think I'd like the programme but it was OK.

Well, it is Emma Watson! She acts as Hermione Granger and this is her first thing outside of Harry Potter, obviously it will get people

^ It's not airing there, not as far as we know.
Lucy, the girl who played the red head, outshone everyone. Considering she has a much smaller C.V., she put both Emma & Yasmin to shame. Still, the eyebrows weren't as much of a problem in this, it was more the heavy breathing. She did however cry convincingly, and looked absolutely stunning in that blue dress! I totally think Emma is better suited to modelling.

I was totally torn between this and 'The Old Curiosity Shop' and I went for the other one  but seeing as this has got good reviews I might watch it if I've got time. In general I find Emma to be quite annoying so this might change my perception of her. | |

Emma's acting ability is completely obvious. She's been great as Hermione and proved that she can act. I'm glad that Emma has finally stepped out from doing something Potterish and hope she'll do more non-HP acting in the future.

It was good I have to say! but I wasn't bowled over by Emma's part. The other two girls I thought did a much better job! But it was magical to me and that's all that matters to me. It was lovely to watch on Boxing Day

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

I recorded it on my Sky+ box, and I started watching the first half hour or so. True, nothing much seems to happen plot-wise, but the acting of the three girls was wonderful, not just Emma's. | |
