Gromit’s concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions proves justified, when Wallace invents a “smart” gnome that seems to develop a mind of its own. When it emerges that a vengeful figure from the past might be masterminding things, it falls to Gromit to battle sinister forces and save his master… or Wallace may never be able to invent again!

Thoughts
There’s been a lot of build up to the big return of Wallace and Gromit, and so nice that we got it on the BBC before anywhere else. As a story, it was fine, you can’t help getting frustrated with the idiot Wallace and feeling sorry for the weary Gromit, but it was fun. The penguin is the best thing about it. Actually no, the best thing about it was the Ant & Dec joke which I am still laughing about now. Watchable with a great voice cast, but not groundbreaking.
