  • The show, despite the wide circles of praise, incurred the wrath of Daily Mail readers and other critics for its risque and controversial material which was deemed unsuitable for children. It is also infamous for its continuity errors which blighted the show during it's 11 year tenure. Bodger and Badger also had their very own big screen spin off in the infamous and the ill-fated movie Never Far Away (in which the central theme of the story was a series of mashed potato related murders), which came out briefly in 2001 but was pulled from cinemas shortly after. The film showed Badger as alive and well, despite the fact he had been killed off in the last episode of the television series and large hole's in the script. Other issues, such as excessive use of bad language in a childrens film, poor acting and lack of plot were also to blame. Mark Kermode in his review for the BBC said that Never Far Away was amongst 'one of the most hateful movies I've ever had the displeasure of seeing'.
