CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Wallace & Gromit and a traditional Time Lord - the perfect Christmas gifts
Our hero Wallace and his loyal mutt Gromit returned in an 80-minute special that was essentially a remake of their best-loved adventure, 1993's The Wrong Trousers, but with vanloads of extra gags.
Cunningly disguised as a chicken, with a red rubber glove for his coxcomb, Feathers broke out of his enclosure at a maximum security zoo with the aid of an army of garden gnomes, manufactured to the blueprint designed by eccentric inventor Wallace. Young viewers will have been held enthralled throughout by the excitement, as silent comedy star Gromit gave chase — first in a motorcycle with sidecar, then in a high-speed narrow boat — before a perilous confrontation on a canal viaduct. Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan was the star guest in Doctor Who, which was a subdued affair by the standards of recent Christmas specials — no set-piece musical spectaculars, no megabudget CGI backdrops and very little Disneyfication.
