It felt to me, too, like a remake of The Idiot's Lantern, only better.
I didn't care too much for the depiction of the bogeyman-Dad out of Chloe's wardrobe, though. But if I found this slightly childish, this might only show that it actually worked because it probably should give the impression of a kid's nightmare.
Huw Edwards gasping, "The Olympic dream is dead! Hope and love are dead!"
Another crusty old cynic here. I actually started giggling. But perhaps this is merely due to the fact that I never associated dreams and hope and love with sports, of all things.
