Family Film/ Wallace & Gromit: A Close Shave + A Matter of Loaf and Death

Directed by Nick Park

Revisit the wonderful world of eccentric inventor Wallace and his faithful sidekick Gromit with a double-bill of classic animations. Wallace and Gromit’s latest screen adventure, Vengeance Most Fowl, broadcasts live on Christmas Day. 

Films screening in this programme are: 

A Close Shave 

Trade is booming for Wallace and Gromit’s Wash’n’Go window-cleaning service, and love is in the air as Wallace falls for the owner of the local wool shop, the lovely Wendolene Ramsbottom.
But Wallace has a new invention – a Knit-O-matic machine – and adventure looms: sheep are being rustled, wool is in short supply and Wendolene’s malevolent pooch Preston is on the prowl. 

A Matter of Loaf and Death 

Wallace and Gromit have started a new bread baking business, ‘Top Bun’ and converted 62 West Wallaby Street into a granary with ovens, robotic kneading arms and an old-fashioned windmill on the roof.
While they enjoy being the ‘Toast of the Town’, Gromit soon realises his master’s life is in jeopardy, and turns sleuth to solve the escalating murder mystery.
