Wallace & Gromit’s World of Invention

It’s been almost five years since the delightful clay duo of Wallace and Gromit have released a video, and while this series doesn’t really count as a full-blown W&G adventure, it’s still great fun to watch. In the series, Wallace and Gromit play hosts on a science show that features some truly offbeat inventors, people ranging from a guy who makes robotic sculpture out of plastic tubing to a man who invented a wireless telephone that transported sound through soil more than 100 years ago. The science segments are fun in themselves, but it’s the wacky shenanigans of Wallace and Gromit that make the series so entertaining. Who else but W&G would come up with a plan to feed an elephant cabbage so they could capture his methane and convert it to energy?
