Lenny Henry's Wallace and Gromit Christmas special (The Right Trousers)

British comedian Lenny Henry decided that a live action Wallace and Gromit Christmas special (The Right Trousers) would be a great idea. He also decided to play both Wallace and Gromit himself.

He stayed true to the source material but the end result was really disturbing. It received a backlash from viewers for being creepy (even though it was unintentional) and was never re-broadcast.

0:50 someone is saying "Oh god" while an air compressor noise plays over Wallace sipping tea.
Absolutely disturbing.

It's sounds kind of eerie with a person dressing up like their own creations.

Read that as "dressing up in their own creations" and I'd like to thank you for reminding me of this horrible thing.
