Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl cast – Who has returned?
It's officially Christmas!
Wallace and Gromit are back for another wacky adventure in new film, Vengeance Most Fowl, which is coming to BBC One and iPlayer this Christmas Day.
With it being over a decade since the the duo were last on our TV screens in a feature-length film, a lot has changed – including some of its cast.
While it's fairly a small cast, given Gromit and returning villain Feathers McGraw don't speak, there was still a lot to be done in casting these roles.
Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham were certainly pleased with the new cast members and all those returning, with Park exclusively telling RadioTimes.com: "We did audition a small number, [but] we sort of knew pretty much from just the auditions."
Crossingham added: "And now we have them, I can't imagine it being any of the others."
