Not as good as the ones before but loved the last part. Still very enjoyable but just felt it didn't quite reach the highs of the previous ones.

Honestly, switched off after trying my best to like it. Loved the previous episodes but this was one too many

I miss the end but Mrs Blue3 told me the penguin is still at large so I assume a sequel will be in the offing

Loved it, couldn't even tell that wasn't the original Wallace. Probably not the best one, but still very entertaining...

A mash up of two outstanding TV programmes.



We missed The Traitors first time round. But as Richard Osman says on the outstanding The Rest Is Entertainment, it's the best reality programme ever. Can't wait.

I laughed out loud several times, great British humour. Maybe 15 minutes too long but other than that, a highlight of Christmas.

The only show that both the wife and I sat down and watched, other than The Italian Job earlier. But that said, there wasn't a lot on this year.
SPOILER
The barge chase had me on the floor in tears when the dog walker passed them by.

It was excellent. Apart from the storyline, there were many visual gags which, if you blinked, you missed them, so will watch it again.

The ‘No Parkin’ sign on the Yorkshire Bridge was the best bit. Overall it was excellent.

The truncheon where the pump would be on the plod bike was one of many wonderful little touches.

Shaun the sheep character.

Calling in Reece Shearsmith.

Defo worth a rewatch.

With Wallace and Gromit it's always the little side jokes and puns that get me. Gromit reading a Virginia Woof book, the news presenter Anton Deck.

There've been better Wallace and Gromits, but it was still the best thing on TV all Christmas this year.

I thought the references to the north were outstanding.

'Up North news'
'Accrington Queen' - my wife is from Accrington, whoop, whoop.
'Madame butter pies' - Madame Butterfly, get it? (Butter pies are a thing up north).
