Stars’ festive booking

ROB Brydon and Bill Bailey are among the stars who will be turning much-loved children’s book The Smeds And The Smoos into a BBC Christmas production.

The film will be the latest adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s popular books, following on from the likes of The Gruffalo, Zog And The Flying Doctors and, most recently, Superworm.

Brydon returns for his 10th production as Uncle Smoo, alongside Bailey as Grandfather Smed.
