Donaldson's tale from 2019 tells the story of Janet and Bill who meet in the Wurpular Wood and fall in love.
But there's one big problem - their families hate each other and cannot accept the match after generations of division.
The pair run away and it's up to the families to unite for their sake of their loved ones.
Can they find the young Smoo and the young Smed? And can they put their differences aside?
The Smeds and the Smoos will air over Christmas. For more news, interviews and features, visit our Entertainment hub, or find something to watch now with our TV Guide and Streaming Guide.
