Andy's Top 5
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
ANDY'S TOP 5 stars British children's show host Andy Day revisiting some of his favorite top five things from his past adventures. From his the top 5 dinosaurs he's encountered, to his top five epic fails, each episode features Andy using the Safari Park computer to look back at some of the best, strangest, and most harrowing moments of his adventuring career.
Is It Any Good?
This lively recap series shares moments from previously aired seasons of Andy's Dinosaur Adventures, Andy's Wild Adventures, and other series in the franchise. While some include brief scenes of friends like Kip the Cat (voiced by Harriet Carmichael), most of the scenes involve Andy looking for and observing wild animals around the world with the help of CGI and animal video footage. Some also show him getting caught up in various mishaps, like being chased or captured by creatures, sliding down hills, and falling into water. Andy's Top 5 doesn't offer much that's new or original, but fans of the franchise will enjoy it.
