I'd recommend going to the Britannia web-site www.britanniaairways.com which will give you loads of info.

From what I see there, it looks like the "main cabin " doesn't have seatback screens, only Premium , but it's a bit ambiguous...so I'd ring & check.

I notice they charge £27 per adult and £20 per kid to pick and reserve your seat!!! The site gives you plane layouts if you want a specific area.

Movies look decent enough and up to date ( SecondHand Lions is a good movie )

Doesn't mention Kids Packs unfortunately.

Airplane food is reasonable to decent at best... and Britannia will probably be no better or worse than most other airlines.

It's well worth going to the site I've mentioned, well laid out and informative.

I went with Britannia the year before last.

No, there is no seat back tv only the ones that come down from the ceiling in the center of the aisle, so how well you can see depends on where you end up sitting.

I don't remember seeing any kids packs, but i wasn't travelling with kids so i could be mistaken.

The food was the same as any other airline, no better, no worse.

Not to put a downer on it, but it was also quite cramped (especially as my b/f is 6'2) and we had extremely inconsiderate people in front of us (not that it was britannia's fault about that) but our friend's had paid the extra £60 odd for extra legroom and i wish we had done the same. We tried to do it for the way back but they were fully booked.

All in all, the planes were nice and clean and the staff were friendly and helpful but if there is any way you can, PAY FOR THE EXTRA LEGROOM!!!!
