I've been quite lucky lately - a couple of months ago I passed my driving test on my first attempt, and then a week later I was offered a weekend job after my first interview. As you can imagine, I was pretty excited about both successes and my lovely fiancé told me he was going to take me out to dinner to celebrate.

Wallace and Gromit - A Matter of Loaf and Death is a 30 minute Wallace and Gromit animation made by Nick Park. This episode was shown on Christmas Day on the BBC.

I wish though that the film had lasted ...
