In the case of the Wallace and Gromit Prom, this was a slickly engineered programme that featured brilliantly shot brand-new scenes starring our favourite hapless pair, along with superb playing from the youthful Aurora Orchestra under Nicholas Collon. So right from the start, although the audience only sees Wallace and Gromit on film, it really does seem that they are in our presence.

Wallace and Gromit were at the Royal Albert Hall! But although this storyline dominated the first half of the concert, there was still a clear emphasis on classical music. The sold-out Royal Albert Hall was packed with families and young children, and the programme catered to this with short, bite-sized pieces of music that nevertheless revealed the gamut of what the orchestra can do.

Nick Park, creator of Wallace and Gromit, was on hand to watch the comic mayhem that ensued. The programme, performed by the Aurora chamber orchestra, included a selection of popular classics by such composers as Debussy, Mozart and Stravinsky. Repeated renditions of Julian Nott's brass-based Wallace and Gromit theme tune had the audience merrily clapping in time.

Yet the centrepiece of the concert was a new work, supposedly written by Wallace himself, titled My Concerto in Ee, Lad.

As might have been anticipated by those familiar with such Oscar-winning short films as The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave, things did not go entirely to plan. That proved literally the case at the Albert Hall, where proceedings were halted at one point by an unexplained, five-minute hitch. The podium, dubbed the 'Maestr-o-matic', came equipped with a baton holder, a mug of tea and a plate of cheese and crackers.

The animated sequences saw Wallace modify or destroy various musical instruments, to the silent dismay of his loyal hound.
