**Season finale** Cracking! Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park joins Genevieve for a special Christmas episode to reminisce about the beginnings of his beloved characters.
He talks about the 7-year-long journey it took to make A Grand Day Out, how Gromit originally had a voice and why he'll never make a new extended director's cut.
He recalls competing against himself at the Oscars, when he picked up the first of his four statues for Creature Comforts - and the hilarious misunderstanding it led to at a Hollywood hotel.
Nick also discusses his proudest achievement, how Wallace and Gromit have helped raise more than £40m through their charitable children's foundation and reveals whether Wallace will ever find love...
Plus, he takes us behind the scenes of the new Wallace and Gromit film, Vengeance Most Fowl - which sees the return of the villainous Feathers McGraw!
=====
Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl will be on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 6:10pm on Christmas Day - and will be on Netflix globally from 3 January 2025.
