The Smeds and The Smoos

BBC1 Animations based on books by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler have become almost as traditional as Christmas itself and, this year, it’s the creative duo’s story about two little aliens who fall in love, but face the disapproval of their families. Sally Hawkins narrates, while Meera Syal, Rob Brydon and Bill Bailey are among the voices behind the characters of this super-cute tale.
