5. The Tale of Ginger and Pickles
A terrier and a ginger cat run a shop – mainly on credit. Stars Reece Shearsmith and John Henshaw. From December 2013
Beatrix Potter's famous tales are celebrated this Christmas.
Her love of the British landscape and its inhabitants - coupled with her world famous ability for storytelling - means she has been one of the most celebrated children's authors of the last hundred years.
This suite of five of her tumultuous tales, including some of the lesser-known stories, brings comedic surprise, comfort and joy to the Christmas audience.
Their timeless wonders pit the delight and childlike innocence of the very human characters against the dark and dramatic ruthlessness of the food-chain-led underbelly of Cumbria's fields and hedgerows.
Stars Reece Shearsmith stars as Ginger with John Henshaw as Pickles.
