In this animated intergalactic adventure, the red Smeds and the blue Smoos must learn to overcome their differences and work together to find young Janet and Bill who eloped to escape their families’ long standing rivalries. We’ve seen the gulf between the “haves” and “have nots” grow ever wider, as the cost of living crisis continues to disproportionately affect those with less we’ve seen the continued fallout from the pandemic we’ve experienced more tragedy and further deaths as a result of the refugee crisis – and witnessed our politicians seeking to stoke further division with dangerous, divisive rhetoric. On a far-off planet, two families always avoid each other. Hear me out: if ever there was a year (well, six years, actually, since the 2016 referendum) that has showed us division and the need for unity, it’s 2022. ![]() The latest Julia Donaldson adaptation (yes, she of Room on the Broom and The Gruffalo, didn’t you know) dropped on BBC1 at 2.30pm, in prime position before the King’s Speech, and there really couldn’t be a better allegory for Britain today than this pretty weird tale of a blue and red alien who fall in love. Based on Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s picture-book. I didn’t expect to be live-blogging The Smeds and The Smoos on Christmas Day, but here we are. The first image has been released of Bill Bailey and Adjoa Andoh ’s characters in upcoming BBC short film The Smeds and The Smoos. ![]()
