Nick Park latest creations a treat for young and old

Fans will need no reminder to rush out and buy Creature Comforts Series Two, Part One (Momentum, €21.99) — incidentally, the whole series one is also out — an amusing collection of plasticine animal characters created by Wallace & Gromit genius Nick Park.

Among the popular ‘actors’ are Trixie and Captain Cuddlepuss, the dog and cat, but there are over 100 others, and the humour factor is high. Perfect for young kids as Christmas approaches. Parents can watch too.
