whenever we're out and about talking about wallace & gromit and maybe talking about the future of wallace, "when will feathers be back?" and so finding a story that he could really be a proper good villain — because everybody loves a villain — it's often said your film is only as good as your villain — it seemed a perfect opportunity to bring feathers back for this story. neck cracks. sadly, one person who isn't back is, of course, the original voice of wallace — peter sallis — who died back in 2017. this is the first major wallace and gromit project without peter sallis. that must be emotional. it is, yes. it has been quite emotional since we lost peter. he was such an original and unique voice and a great actor. so it's very hard for anyone to step into his shoes, but we have been blessed with a youngish actor who we've known for many years. in fact, peter knew him, actually, who can do a fantastic wallace impersonation, ben whitehead. ben whitehead says it's an honour taking on the challenge of replacing peter sallis' famous tones. it's been kind of nice to have the time to do it, as a

we spoke to gemma — not her real name — who worked with wallace.g with gregg was tricky. he was constantly making sexually inappropriate jokes and comments. his behaviour was unacceptable in any kind of workplace. he's posted this video today. what do you make of that? i was mortified when i saw it this morning, because it's so dismissive of the people that have come forward, especially the younger girls, um, and about their experiences. i don't know what class and age have to do with it. our investigation heard from 13 people across a range of ages who worked across five different shows. they include... a masterchef worker in 2005 who says wallace said sexually explicit things on set. kirsty wark, who says wallace used sexualised language on celebrity masterchef in 2011. two workers on impossible celebrities in 2018, who raised a formal complaint about wallace's behaviour. a worker on big weekends in 2019, who says wallace asked her the logistics of how she had sex as a lesbian. two workers on eat well for less in 2019, who say wallace came out to

wallace by 10 points which is a pretty significant origin. wallace had not done as well. the impression was brewster really hadn't done very well and we thought he lost i think. that's just a real shame and i think certainly your father took a huge risk and it was not good for his career i think ultimately for having made that move. >> one thing i would add, that chapter in the book about that race i call the turning point. it was a turning point for danny personally i think because i think the reaction he got really shocked him and made him question what was going on in the country, it made him question his own value as a leader and i think he even considered briefly maybe he should consider leaving politics. one of the things we will probably talk about is danny sa ended up as an alcoholic and i think what happened to him in that race really contributed to that. >> the last thing i would say on this is that wallace apparently after the maryland primary regretted he hadn't run in more northern states against favorite sons. you mentioned alcoholism and issues with alcohol

suddenly it was brewster versus wallace. this is at a time when the civil rights bill was pending in the congress. initially i think danny thought -- danny had always been in support of civil rights. after world war ii when he saw african americans fighting side- by-side with him, and he came home and they were being treated like they were being treated with segregation before the war, he thought that was really wrong. he had a history of this. he just thought that the maryland people would obviously vote against wallace. well, he was shocked at the treatment he got. he was spot on, -- spit on, her what -- his wife's life was threatened. they had to have police outside where gerry was growing up. it was a bitter, bitter, nasty race. but ultimately, danny brewster won that race. he won by 10 percentage points. but a lot of people who lived through it thought, still think, that danny didn't win that race because the initial expectation was that he was swamped wallace. 10 percentage points, i guess, did it feel like enough. >>

once again, wallace's inventions...n a decade. whenever we've done talks around the world, the last question is always, "when is the next wallace and gromit film? " and on the last time we did that, i came home just burning with this idea that's been around for years, actually, about, what if wallace created an automated gnome? hi. i'm your nifty- odd—jobbing robot. call me norbert. now this new story has the return of an old villain who the pair last encountered back in 1993's the wrong trousers. whenever we were out and about talking about wallace and gromit, and maybe talking about the future of wallace and gromit, the single most asked question is, "when will feathers be back?" it seemed a perfect opportunity to bring feathers back for this story. sadly, one person who isn't back is, of course, the original voice of wallace, peter sallis. it has been quite emotional since we lost peter, but we have been blessed with a youngish actor who we've known for many years, in fact, peter knew him, actually, who can do a fant

i“n not sure that they are right to do that because we know how so many complaints about gregg wallaceat showing this episode when they are aware of so many complaints is probably brand damage and, both for masterchef as a brand, and for the bbc. masterchef is and for the bbc. masterchef is a quality brand, and what we now have heard from many women, and some men, about the tawdry and some men, about the tawdry and smudgy behaviour in the making of the programme by gregg wallace really brings it into disrepute, so i am not sure that that is a wise decision.— sure that that is a wise decision. ., , ., ~ ., , decision. the labour mp was seen a bit — decision. the labour mp was seen a bit earlier— decision. the labour mp was seen a bit earlier that - decision. the labour mp was seen a bit earlier that if - decision. the labour mp was seen a bit earlier that if it. seen a bit earlier that if it was on television tonight, it would look as if he had got away with it. in terms of the brand damage you are talking about, is there danger by broadcasting, it looks like the bbc is backing gregg wa

and wallace's lawyers have in an official statement said gregg wallace strongly denies that he engagesaviour. but all of this does put more pressure on the bbc. over the weekend it was reported that in 2017, an allegation was made notjust to banijay uk, the production company that makes the programme, but the allegation was also passed at the bbc. and also the banijay uk investigation is looking at masterchef and its spin offs. the bbc news investigation into gregg wallace has identified complaints about his behaviour on programmes that were not masterchef made for the bbc and other broadcasters, so people are keen to see what kind of action is being taken to look at those because gregg wallace is a household name here in the uk, and has been for the last two decades. and people are very keen to see that the investigation into his alleged behaviour, behaviour he denies, but that the investigation is both proper and fair. that was the bbc�*s lizo mzimba. president biden is on his way to angola on his first and only visit to africa as president. he'll highlight a us loan to build a railw

gregg wallace in an instagram video this morning, hitting back at his critics.r has been under pressure after bbc news revealed a string of misconduct allegations against him. our investigation heard from 13 people across a range of ages who worked across masterchef and a number of different shows. one of them, kirsty wark, appeared on celebrity masterchef. the rest — former production staff. jemma — not her real name — says gregg wallace made her and her colleagues feel uncomfortable. working with gregg was tricky. he was constantly making sexually inappropriate jokes and comments. his behaviour was unacceptable in any kind of workplace. he's posted this video today. what do you make of that? i was mortified when i saw it this morning, because it's so dismissive of the people that have come forward, especially the younger girls, and about their experiences. i don't know what class and age have to do with it. this morning, a veteran labour mp had this to say. it's not a crime to be a middle—class woman of a certain age, i would say. gregg doesn't get it. the wor
