WALLACE AND GROMIT: NEW IMAGES RELEASED AHEAD OF NEW ADVENTURE ON BBC ONE

Vengeance Most Fowl is Wallace & Gromit’s return to their home at the BBC 16 years after their previous adventure.

After a recent crime wave of stolen garden goods from across the region, Wallace and his pre-programmed smart gnome, Norbot, are the main suspects. While Wallace proclaims his innocence, it’s up to Gromit once again to battle sinister forces, or Wallace will never invent again!

But who could possibly be behind such evil actions?! Rightfully behind bars for all this time, Feathers McGraw - last seen in 1993’s BAFTA and Academy Award winning short The Wrong Trousers - is back with vengeance.

The voice cast will feature Ben Whitehead as Wallace, the eccentric, cheese-loving inventor from the North of England who lives with his best friend and loyal pooch, Gromit. Peter Kay returns as Chief Inspector Macintosh alongside Lauren Patel (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Lloyd of the Flies) as his latest eager recruit PC Mukherjee.

The new film also features cameos from Diane Morgan (Afterlife, Motherland) as local TV news reporter, Adjoa Andoh (Bridgerton, Invictus) as the judge, Muzz Khan (Brassic, Galavant) as the host of Up North News, and Lenny Henry (Three Little Birds, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power) as Mr Convenience.

Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl airs on Christmas Day at 6:10pm.
