Another brilliant Wallace and Gromit film. I did wonder how close anyone would get to Peter Sallis's unique voice but Ben Whitehead makes a great job of it. All the clever touches that you expect from Nick Park. Definitely worth watching.

Apparently Peter Kay, who was the police chief, often ad libbed. When he realised it was Feathers and not a nun he yelled out flipping Nora, a good Northern expression. Netflix wanted to know who Nora was and why she was being flipped😂 It was explained this wasn’t rude etc.

I loved the northern jokes -

Nick Park and his team are just brilliant. Loved this latest outing. Watched with now adult children, who were as entertained by it as when they were young. The documentary on BBC iPlayer of Nick and history of Aardman I stumbled upon and is definitely worth watching.

It’s a curiosity that the best tv viewing over the festive period has been a programme aimed at children, well on family viewing. I was lucky my daughter, partner boys aged 5 and 8 stayed to watch with me. It added to the fun to share it. We are Lancastrian’s so enjoyed the Lancashire-Yorkshire border humour

As many have said, best thing on TV for the season (by far). And, goodness, a BBC show, which some sad people try to criticise?! [If you want to disband an org due to the antics of a tiny few, then goodbye Commons and Lords, the Met Police, and also to both the Catholic and Anglican churches -- who have far MORE culprits?!!]

I just watched it with my son . Absolutely brilliant.

Being Christmas there have been several re-runs of the old Wallace and Gromit programmes. I watched A Close Shave yesterday where Wendoline, the wool lady and her dog, Preston, are sheep rustling. Again, so many laughs and comic touches. I can watch these over and over and never get bored.

We also watched Chicken Run from the same stable. All their products are thoroughbreds.
