The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, BBC One

Charlie Mackesy’s bestselling novel is adapted into an animated short film featuring the voices of Idris Elba as the fox, Tom Hollander as the mole and Gabriel Byrne as the horse.

The story follows the unlikely friendship of a boy, a mole, a fox and a horse as they journey together in the boy’s search for home.

Mackesy says he loves the idea of his tale being in our homes over Christmas, adding: “I really hope it helps bring comfort, love and laughter.”
