Peter Lord and David Sproxton began their animating partnership at school. In 1972 they registered the name Aardman Animations. After graduating, they moved to Bristol in 1976 where they produced their first professional production, creating Morph for the children’s programme 'Take Hart'.

You know Peter and David from there work on such tv shows and movies as Wallace and Gromit, Shawn the Sheep, Chicken Run, Flushed Away and Pirates Band of Misfits.. this time around Peter and David are producing Early Man directed by Nick Park about a tribe of primitive Stone Age valley dwellers who have to defend their land from the bronze age invaders in a football match.

We got to talk to Peter and David separately so enjoy the next 30minutes with the creators of Aardman Animations.
