A Matter of Loaf and Death

edited January 2009 in Wallace & Gromit
I was refreshing my knowledge on Wallace & Gromit on wikipedia and found out that another short is being released soon called A Matter of Loaf and Death. It's suppost to be pretty much done and will be aired sometime this year.
It's nice to know that they'll still live on in their original medium too!
The story has Wallace and Gromit becoming bakers. In addition there is a murder mystery, and a new love interest for Wallace in the shape of bread enthusiast Piella Bakewell. Park expressed delight in returning the characters to British television, as "I don't feel like I'm making a film for a kid in some suburb of America — and being told they're not going to understand a joke, or a northern saying."[

    Ha, I wonder if the games' subtitles will use proper English rather than American English spellings?

    ;)

    "Proper English?" Well ain't that a hoot 'n a holler!

    Also, awesome news about the new Wallace & Gromit short!

    Please make sure this game has some British humour in it.
    Oh, and proper English spelling in subtitles would be spiffing.

    This is going to do nothing for the traditional British stereotype. :p British spelling would be fantastic, even though we have to wait longer for games to be translated into loads of different languages in Europe, Americanisms are never changed. 'Favorite', 'color', 'center', etc. Telltale, if the Americanisms are abolished in the game, I will possibly send every member of your team a new sports car.

    Possibly.

    Thank god I'm not the only one who was bothered about that.

    EDIT: Also, extra kudos if it comes out in Series rather than Seasons.

    Also, cos I just realised we're really hijacking the topic here, I heard about the new one (A Matter of Loaf and Bread) a while back, I'd completely forgotten until now though.

    That sounded tempting until we realized they'd be British sports cars.

    Tea sipping, crumpets, cooking, dental work, I'd imagine you think we all talk like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins, too? :p

    In an effort to try and get us back on track, I will say that our own Dave Bogan and Dan Connors went to visit the Aardman people the other week and got to visit the set of A Matter of Loaf and Death. From what I understand, it was pretty awesome. Plus, we got to show them work of what we've done so far, and they seemed excited.

    Wow, good to hear the guys at Aardman are interested in this project.

    I guess no secret pictures of the set have been taken?;)

    Do not play the crossdressing card so many British "comedians" love to play. It's not funny, it's not edgey... it's pathetic.
    This is the reason I hate Benny Hill so much.

    That said, be sure to SATURATE the game with Doctor Who references!

    Ooooh, Aardman. Are they doing anything that could be construed as involvement?
    Oh, and Zootch? No-one likes Benny Hill. Even Benny Hills' mum didn't like Benny Hill. Cross-dressing stopped being funny sometime around the dawn of the steam locomotive.
    I'm more of a Jack Dee, or Tim Minchin man, myself.

    On the bright side, it spawned the greatest theme song in the history of theme songs that are great theme songs.

    The song wasn't written for Benny Hill, as far as I know. It's called 'Yakety Sax' and is by Boots Randolph:

    I always thought it was composed for BH... interesting! But my point still stands, because I'm always right by default. :p
