A HALF HOUR CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

One Christmas Eve a parcel falls from Santa's sleigh and lands in a small shed. From this moment the lives of Archie, Babs and Duke are changed forever. Three pets whose normal, but boring lives are disrupted by discovering this missing parcel, embark on an exciting new adventure when they decide to return the parcel by morning. Barbara Windsor, Hugh Laurie and Mark Williams provide the voices of the hamster, rabbit and guinea pig. Through their adventures, each character learns that however small and insignificant we think we are, we can make a difference.

Created and directed by Graham Ralph, Second Star to the Left was first transmitted on BBC1 Christmas 2001. The film also features the voice of Becky Taylor, singing the single 'You Can Be A Hero'.
