A great double-bill

Of the two stories presented here 'The Invisible Kid' is a pretty decent yarn, but it's 'Dr. Poof's Magic Soap' that really stands out. To this day, I affectionately recall the BBC's serialisation on Jackanory. Merely glancing through the text brings back fond memories of the late Sir Bernard Manning's richly sonorous diction. Anyway, Dr. Poof resides in the mythical kingdom of Homolia, where he is aided by his flamboyant 'assistant' Professor Turd-Burglar. In this particular adventure, he embarks on a quest to retrieve the lost recipe for magic soap and return it to the fairies. There are some terrifying cliff-hangers along the way, notably the scene in which he bends down to pick up the magic soap, without realising that his arch-enemy (Rear Admiral Fudge-Packer) is right behind him.
