The BBC's version was charming with that element of strangeness about it which gives beauty its thorns. One felt there was more to the princesses' nightly dancing than was ever explained. Their dances had a shiver of witchery about them, stepping in slow motion among the stars or whirling in a mad night light.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 18th December 1978
