The Wrong Trousers

S1 E2: Times are hard at 62 West Wallaby Street, so Wallace decides to take a lodger - but Gromit's suspicions are immediately aroused by the sinister penguin who answers his advert. While the feathered intruder starts to take his place in Wallace's affections, Gromit is determined to uncover the interloper's secret - one which involves Wallace's latest invention, the NASA-designed Techno Trousers, a rubber glove and a spectacular jewellery heist. Featuring brilliant slapstick, hair-raising tension and one of the most unforgettable climaxes every filmed, this classic comedy adventure was awarded the 1993 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, the first of three Oscars which Nick Park's world-renowned duo has received.
