A Grand Night In: The Story of Aardman
A lovely story about all the hard work that has gone into Aardman over all these years. Seeing all their success in this one hour long documentary really puts into perspective just how influential and successful this studio has been.

Wallace and Gromit, the most British characters of all time. I’d die for them.
