When is Superworm on this Christmas?

This Christmas sees another Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler collaboration entertain families up and down the country - Superworm.

Superworm follows the titular character and his pal, Butterfly, as they help the other garden animals. But, when there seems there’s no end to Superworm’s skills, he begins to get a bit too full of himself and he starts to ignore his friend.

Then word of Superworm’s powers reaches the evil Wizard Lizard. He loves wearing his finest jewels and he’s so greedy he’s always searching for more. He realises Superworm could be a brilliant way to find buried treasure so he sends his henchman, the Crow, to kidnap Superworm.

The adventure brings some fun to the screens, and possibly a quiet 30 minutes for parents, on Christmas Day at 2.30pm on BBC One.

You can also catch up with it on iPlayer. There you'll also find other Donaldson-penned cartoons including The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, Zog and loads more.

Superworm stars Patricia Allison from Sex Education as Butterfly, Rob Brydon as Crow, Olivia Colman narrates, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith is the evil Wizard Lizard and Matt Smith is Superworm.
