4. The Tale of Mr Tod
Tommy Brock the Badger and Mr Tod the fox are old enemies. Stars Seymour Mace 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.
Seymour Mace is Mr Tod and John Henshaw is Tommy Brock. Morwenna Banks is Beattie.
