Wallace & Gromit return in a Gnome Noir tale for Christmas 2024. 

Alongside a full trailer, the BBC have confirmed that the upcoming Wallace & Gromit adventure Vengeance Most Fowl will air on Christmas Day.

The new film sees the pair battling an old foe: Feathers McGraw. The sinister penguin was the villain in 1993’s The Wrong Trousers.

Here’s the synopsis for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

After a recent crime wave of stolen garden goods from across the region, Wallace and his pre-programmed smart gnome, Norbot, are the main suspects. While Wallace proclaims his innocence, it’s up to Gromit once again to battle sinister forces, or Wallace will never invent again!

But who could possibly be behind such evil actions?! Rightfully behind bars for all this time, Feathers McGraw is back with vengeance.

Ben Whitehead voices Wallace, with Reece Shearsmith playing Norbot. The cast also includes Peter Kay as Chief Inspector Macintosh, with Lauren Patel, Diane Morgan, Adjoa Andoh, Muzz Khan and Lenny Henry also in the cast.

Most of the pair’s previous adventures, including The Wrong Trousers, are available on BBC iPlayer.

BBC Festive Idents

To accompany the pair’s return, the BBC have also announced three specially commissioned idents. Featuring Wallace, Gromit and new character Norbot in a variety of locations, the festive idents – created by Aardman – will play out on BBC One between programmes during December.
