It's Christmas! What better way to celebrate than to listen again to Genevieve's chat with Aled Jones, the child voice of Christmas in the '80s.

Aled joins Genevieve to reminisce about his rise to fame and explains how he came to sing Walking in the Air, famously associated with the classic 1982 animation The Snowman.

Aled also explains why he was relieved to retire his boy soprano career at 16, the pressure of starting an adult singing career and how he has Songs of Praise to thank for relaunching it.
Plus he relives his part in the infamous Royal It's A Knockout tournament, rubbishes claims his award-winning actress daughter Emilia is a nepo baby and chats about the latest album in his One Voice series, which sees him duet with his younger self.

Nick Park - aka Wallace and Gromit genius creator
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.
