The next Barry Norman could hail from Tolworth after a seven year old was shortlisted in Bafta's young film critic competition.
Luca O'Connor attended a glittering ceremony in Piccadilly on Tuesday, October 19 after his poster of Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang was shortlisted in the age 4-7 category.
The budding critic said: “In year 2 we had to draw a picture of what we watched in the last 12 months and I drew Nanny McPhee.
“I got up on stage and got to talk to the Blue Peter presenter. I got two pictures with him.
“When I came back to school I went to the head master because it was really good and after I came back one of my friends jumped on top of me and screamed 'Go Luca'.
“Everyone was very proud of me.”
Luca said having a reserved seat with his name on was fabulous, but his favourite part was receiving a goody bag and a hand-held computer to congratulate him.
Praising the Our Lady Immaculate primary school student's work, Bafta judges said: “Luca's enjoyment of the film is evident in this lovely drawing.
“He has included multiple themes from the film: Nanny McPhee and her magical stick; one of her charges looking up to her in excitement; the idyllic rural setting and the flying pigs.”
