Wallace sends Shaun the Sheep to bring it in, but Shaun begins eating the cheese instead. The other wheel comes off at the front door, stopping the trolley and, in the process, dumping the Edam in the garden. Gromit guides it to grab a loaf of French bread, which it uses as a crutch to limp home. Though it successfully picks up the largest wheel of Edam in the shop, the weight causes one wheel to fall off. This was the first Wallace and Gromit production in widescreen.īecause no dogs are allowed into the shop, Wallace deploys a remote-controlled trolley equipped with a camera and accessories to retrieve cheese from it and carry it home. The episodes appeared as comic strips in the 2010 Wallace and Gromit Annual. The series is now available free online on the Aardman YouTube channel, as well as the Wallace and Gromit YouTube channel. Christmas Cardomatic was viewable free in December 2003. Starting April 2003 Microsoft sponsored free viewing of individual episodes, one per week. All ten episodes were later aired as a 25-minute compilation on BBC Three during Christmas 2008, shortly before The Curse of the Were-Rabbit premiered on BBC One.Įpisodes first appeared on the internet for free viewing 15 October 2002, and the entire series for paid subscribers 21 October 2002 – July 2003.
