Wallace and Gromit Return to TV
I think without the Hollywood pressure of doing a big screen epic this production might be much more interesting to watch:
Wallace and Gromit return to TV
“Wallace and Gromit are to return in a half-hour television adventure – the first since 1995’s A Close Shave. Aardman Animations has announced that the cheese-loving inventor and his loyal dog will star in Trouble at’ Mill – to screen on BBC One in late 2008. Creator Nick Park said: “The story takes Wallace and Gromit in a direction we haven’t seen before – both emotionally and technically.”
Shooting starts in January at Aardman studios in Bristol. Trouble at’ Mill is a murder mystery that sees Wallace and Gromit running a bakery business – with their house converted into a granary with ovens and robotic kneading arms.”
