In the title episode, Wallace the inventor and his dog Gromit take a time machine to look for Wallace's missing footware, and in "The Curse of the Ramsbottams," they visit Wallace's beloved Wendolene to search for a missing cheesemaker.

Wallace and Gromit enter an inventor's competition sponsored by the Acme Corporation, whose owners plan to use hypnosis and a trained spider act to capture the entrants and force them to work for the company.

When Wallace's attempt to celebrate Gromit's birthday causes his garden shed to take off for outer space, propelled by homemade cheese, he builds a rocketship, enlists a crew, and blasts off to set things right.

Nick Park's Oscar-winning characters embark on their first and second cartoon-strip adventures. The stars of A GRAND DAY OUT, THE WRONG TROUSERS AND A CLOSE SHAVE, join a host of colourful characters, as they travel through time, struggle against evil, and as ever, consume vast amounts of cheese.

The author of this concise guide to unarmed combat and self-defence is a legend. W. E. Fairbairn (1885-1960) spent over thirty years in the tough environment of the Riot Squads of China's Shanghai Municipal Police. In order to lower levels of Police mortality at the hands of Chinese Tongs, he studied ancient Chinese and Japanese martial arts, including Ju-jitsu, and was the first foreigner to be awarded a black belt in the discipline. He developed his own system which he called 'Defendu'. At the outbreak of the Second World War, he was recruited by Britain's Special Operations Executive as an Instructor in unarmed combat and expounded the deadly mysteries of attack and defence to scores of trainee agents about to be dropped into occupied Europe. His methods were approved and officially adopted throughout the British army. Fairbairn also developed weapons and defence aids such as bullet proof vests. He is best known as the co-inventor of the famous Sykes-Fairbairn knife. In this book he expounds his distilled experience of unarmed combat. Fully illustrated, it shows how to deliver deadly blows with hand, fist, knee and boot; wrist, bear- and strangle holds (and how to break them); how to throw an enemy, and how to break their backs; how to disarm a pistol-wielding attacker; and securing a prisoner. The book also contains a chapter on the use of the rifle in close combat by Captain P. N. Walbridge.
