Believe it or not, it’s been sixteen years since Wallace & Gromit’s last short film – A Matter of Loaf and Death – hit our screens. Fortunately, you don’t have to wait long for the next one.
Wallace & Gromit: A Vengeance Most Fowl shows the town turning against Wallace when one of his beloved inventions takes an evil turn. When he and Gromit try to discover who could be behind this, they come face to face with an old enemy. The one, the only… Feathers McGraw, last seen in 1993’s The Wrong Pants – rubber glove and all.
A Vengeance Most Fowl will be available to stream worldwide in 2025. However, UK viewers will get to see it earlier, on this Christmas Day. If you’re worried about spoilers, there’s a way to watch them sooner, no matter where you are in the world.

How to watch Wallace & Gromit: A Vengeance Most Fowl early in the US and abroad
If you’re traveling abroad and don’t want to wait for your next Wallace & Gromit fix, then you’re in luck: there’s a way to watch BBC iPlayer from abroad. All you need is a VPN.
VPN (stands for Virtual Private Network) and allows users to redirect their IP addresses so they can surf the Internet as if they were from another country.
There are many options available, although only a selection can successfully unblock BBC iPlayer. We have found NordVPN to be the best option, with reliable performance, a range of servers and affordable prices.
Once you’ve chosen which VPN provider to use, here’s what you need to do:
Sign up for NordVPN

You can register here. By default, the Complete plan is selected, but if you only need the VPN, click Get Standard. Choose between a two-year, one-year and one-month subscription at the top.
Follow the prompts to create your account and pay.
Install the NordVPN app
Jim Martin / Foundry
If you’re using a phone or tablet, go to the app store, search for NordVPN and then install it.
If you’re using Windows, log in to your NordVPN account in a web browser, go to the Downloads section and click Download App next to Buy NordVPN for Windows. Run the downloaded file to install it.
Launch NordVPN
Jim Martin / Foundry
Launch the app and log in with the email address and password you entered when creating an account with NordVPN. On Windows you should see a screen like this, but other apps look very similar.
Use the list of locations (the word icon at the top left) or scroll the map to Great Britain and tap Connect to London. If requested, grant NordVPN permission to set up a VPN connection. You may need to enter your Windows password or, on a mobile device, your passcode.
Wait for the VPN to connect

You should see a message stating that the VPN is connected. You can see this by the green CONNECTED and a padlock above Great Britain.
Open iPlayer
Jim Martin / Foundry
Log in with your BBC account (create one if you don’t already have one) and find something to watch. It should work fine as the VPN gives the impression that you are in Great Britain.
If you are a UK resident and have paid license fees, simply log into your BBC account and use a VPN service as described above. You’re still breaking the Ts and Cs by watching through a VPN, just like anyone abroad who logs in with a fake UK address.
