The Stick Man premiers on BBC One on Christmas day.
"Stick Man lives in the family tree, with his Stick Lady Love and their stick children three."

Looper caterpillars are the real-life Mr Stick, and they awake with the warming weather to seek out the growing leaves. They are part of a magical cast that I have been filming all year - the film will be broadcast on BBC2 sometime in 2016.
