The voice of Daddy Pig, Richard Ridings, chats to us about the character, Terry Gilliam, Roger Rabbit and more..
Don't tell anyone under the age of nine, but Richard Ridings is the man who gives voice to Peppa's very own Daddy Pig. That's right, he's not a real pig.

Ridings' is a beautifully well-judged performance; just one of a number on his varied resume. I was delighted to chat with him recently about the new Peppa Pig cinematic experience, while also making time to speak a little about Who Framed Roger Rabbit, his motion capture work with Andy Serkis and Ninja Theory and, best of all, the after-dinner exorcism of Terry Gilliam.
How much of a time commitment has it been for you, so far, for all of the Peppa Pig to date?...

Brian Blessed and Sir Doris the hamster make this remastered 1999 series by the creators of Peppa Pig and Ben & Holly this week’s best kid-friendly option
With decent family films fairly thin on the ground this half term, this BFI-supported tour of seven remastered episodes of the 1999 BBC animated series is almost certainly the best kid-friendly cinema option of the week. Directed by Neville Astley and Mark Baker, who went on to create Peppa Pig and Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom, The Big Knights is the rambunctuously funny tale of two oversized brothers, Sir Boris (David Rintoul) and Sir Morris (Brian Blessed).
Blundering and blusterous, but endearingly well-meaning, the Knights crash though a world of yore, accompanied by their armour-clad pets, Sir Horace the dog and Sir Doris the hamster. It’s a slyly parent-friendly world, constantly threatened by ‘unexpected cataclysmic events’, populated by vampires, witches, brilliant but dangerously insane...
