The Baddies 

The BBC has revealed details of The Baddies, a festive special about triumphing over the worst baddies around. 

In this fairytale comedy, a Troll, a Witch and a Ghost proclaim themselves the baddest of them all, delighting in tormenting everyone they meet. But when they’re challenged to steal the girl’s blue spotty hanky, they discover they may have met their match. 

Adapted for BBC One from the picture book written by Dame Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, The Baddies marks Magic Light Pictures’ 14th animated adaptation of their work. 

Sheridan Smith narrates the half-hour special, joined by a voice cast including Alison Steadman  as Witch, Hammed Animashaun as Troll, Robyn Cara as Girl and Rob Brydon returning for his 14th Donaldson and Scheffler adaptation as the boastful Ghost.
