Do not usually watch BBC but had to watch Wallace & Gromit! Best thing on tv so far. Tried to like Dr Who as been a fan from start but it just isnt Dr Who anymore! If we all liked the same thing it would be a dull world so each to his own!

Havent seen it yet but will definitely watch it. have been watching my old films that I like over christmas, so of course have watched Casablanca, and if the African Queen is on I will watch that. Enjoyed the Downton Abbey, where lots of the storylines were tied up. The actors who play the servants had a ball dressing up for the film, and it was lovely to see them all. Love Wallace and Gromit, and think they make a great film

Will arrive back home tomorrow after Christmas with the family. Therefore tomorrow night’s viewing will be W and G, can’t wait. 😀

If Mr and Mrs gulligranny liked it I’m sure we will 👍

I laughed out loud as I watched it and will undoubtedly watch it again and again.

I love all the subtle and not so subtle references in the dialogue and imagery e.g. Norbot “pointlessly blowing leaves around” (which is exactly what I think of neighbours and their noisy leaf blowers) and clipping the hedge in an Eric Morecambe topiary as well as Feathers as Blofeld. Brilliant stuff.

Brilliant. So glad I pay my TV licence.

A total joy!

I enjoyed it hugely. It made me laugh, it’s clever. Gromit saves the day again. I love the northern references, northern news, the Accrington canal boat, the sign for the Yorkshire border. I especially love Gromit, reading A Room of Ones own by Virginia Woof. Everyone needs a streetwise yet intellectual dog

Just watched it earlier it was brilliant. My son who’s 38 text me and said ‘ bet your watching Wallace and gromit ‘ it’ his favourite too.

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.
