Bolton: So, Peter Kay really caught everyone off guard! During the filming of a Christmas special for Netflix, he tossed in a classic northern phrase that left the US bosses scratching their heads.
He played Chief Inspector Mackintosh in “Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,” marking his return to TV after a four-year break. It was a big deal!
This film was the first full-length Wallace and Gromit feature since 2008, and it pulled in a whopping nine million viewers on Christmas Day. Talk about a hit!
It’s set to stream on Netflix soon, so everyone can enjoy it. The film also stars Dianne Morgan and Lauren Patel, both from Bolton, which adds a nice local touch.
In a funny moment, Peter’s character exclaims “flippin’ nora,” which had Netflix execs worried. They even left a note asking, “Who is Nora and why is she being flipped?”
But no worries! It turns out the phrase is just a harmless expression, nothing to get upset about.
The story revolves around Feathers McGraw, who’s back to cause trouble and frame Wallace for a crime involving “theft by gnome.” Sounds like a wild ride!
