The Cow that Almost Missed Christmas.
We’re big fans of ‘The Cow that Laid an Egg’ by Andy Cutbill & Russell Ayto, so it was great working with them making ‘The Cow that Almost Missed Christmas’. This is a 30 minute special for CBeebies, this is the nativity story seen through the eyes of a cow called Marje. The voices are Isy Suttie, Johnny Vegas, Miriam Margolyes, Simon Greenall, Nitin Ganatra & Daniel Lawrence Taylor. There’s FIVE chances to see it, (TWICE on Christmas Day!)
