Merry Christmas! It’s time for another adventure with our cheese-munching inventors. Plus: Gavin & Stacey returns for the big finale. Here’s what to watch today

6.10pm, BBC OneFeathers McGraw is back and that spells trouble for Wallace and Gromit in this eagerly awaited return for the claymation legends. But what has the villainous penguin got in store for our heroes? When Wallace invents a “smart gnome” that seems to have a mind of its own, he finds himself in trouble. But who is really controlling Norbot? As ever, Aardman’s work is effortlessly charming and the fine voice cast includes Reece Shearsmith, Peter Kay and Diane Morgan. Phil Harrison

Forgive me if I'm wrong here (not from the UK), but I remember hearing a piece about them not being able to make any more of the Wallace and Gromit films due to a lack of the specific kind of clay that they need to use. Did they find a new supplier? Am I misremembering things?

Yes they did find a new supplier.

They bought all the remaining stock from the factory before it closed for this film. They may have also found a replacement or new manufacturer, I'm not sure.
