Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy are returning to the world of Judith Kerr’s “Mog” picture books for Channel 4‘s animated special “Mog’s Bad Thing.”
Cumberbatch will reprise his role as Mr Thomas opposite Foy as Mrs Thomas while “Bridgerton’s” Adjoa Andoh also returns as the narrator alongside Amelie Law as Debbie and Teddy Skelton as Nicky.
The cast, who previously appeared together in the animated special “Mog’s Christmas,” also for Channel 4, will be joined this time by John Thomson (“Break Clause”) as Mr Bunce, Katherine Parkinson (“Rivals”) as Mrs Ramsbottom, Mawaan Rizwan (“Juice”) as Ali and Amelia Theodorou as Amy.
“Mog’s Bad Thing,” which is directed by Robin Shaw (“The Tiger Who Came to Tea”) and produced by Lupus Films (“Kensuke’s Kingdom,” “The Snowman and The Snowdog”), will once again follow Mog, the Thomas family tabby cat, as she finds herself in big trouble.
“The family are hosting a cat show in their garden which should be Mog’s chance to shine, but in all the excitement she does a ‘bad thing’ which means she hides in the attic feeling sorry for herself and misses the start of the show,” reads the synopsis. “Can Mog find a way to leave her hiding place, make her family proud and save the day?”
