Wallace and Gromit return to BBC

I'm a fan of British TV, so I can say with a huge degree of pleasure that Wallace and Gromit are returning to TV after a break of over ten years. The new episode will be called "Trouble at Mill" at involves the disappearance of twelve of the local bakers.

I enjoy Nick Park's animation. Like the South Park creators, he cleverly combines crudity with the sophisticated but takes it in a totally different direction. The beautiful thing about his work is that, since his work is G-rated, he can speak ot children. However, it never feels like he's talking down to them.

I have missed the absent-minded inventor and his silent dog since their movie The Curse of the Were-Rabbit and look forward to seeing them on the small screen again. I may even learn something.
