Aardman Animation have lost most of their historic props in a huge fire at a Bristol warehouse, it's just been anounced.

Definitely not "A Grand Day Out".

I heard about the fire on the radio this morning. Didn't realise Aardman Animations were near Temple Meads. At least no one was hurt.

You'd think that after the Saatchi fire that warehouse storage units, containing one off pieces, would have upped their fire protection a little better.
