“Mole's Christmas”
is a delightful, animated Christmas tale featuring characters created by
Kenneth Grahame.
On
Christmas Eve Rat and Mole (Richard Briers and Peter
Davison) are trudging
through the snow, on the way to visit Badger, and are oblivious unaware that
weasel pickpockets are following them.
Mole
suddenly detects a familiar smell and longs to visit his old cozy underground
home, his beloved Mole End, and eventually Rat agrees to help Mole get home.
After
eluding the pursuing thieves, they reach their goal and find Mole End is dusty
and neglected, Mole is a little dejected but Rat soon has a fire going and then
the field mice carol singers (Alexander Britten, Benjo
Fraser, Oliver Howard, Amanda Lake, Tanya Lake and, Sophie Mullen) arrive at the door
and it isn't long before they are all enjoying a merry festive supper.
Other featured voices provided by Imelda Staunton,
