Actually (on-topic, sort of) Julia helped to introduce me to Wallace and
Grommit. A few years ago Entertainment Weekly (www.ew.com) used to put in,
as filler, tiny little interview with celebrities asking what movies they
had been to recently or rent and had especially enjoyed. Julia admitted she
was a huge fan of "The Wrong Trousers" and that she thought it was both
brilliant and hilarious.
I know more kids who know of and love W&G than adults here but you can find
copies of the tapes at Blockbuster and for sale at Wal*Mart. And PBS will
show the new W&Gs after they come out...
