I feel sorry for the kid who sang 'Walking in the Air' as he'll always be eclipsed by Aled Jones in the public knowledge base, even though 99% of the time we hear it, it's the film version, so not Aled |  | | |

If you get chance, listen to Briggs’ appearance on Desert Island Discs. He was fantastic. Grumpy and smart and fascinating and emotional. | |

It was Aled Jones' version that was recorded for the Toys R Us advert and released as a single, so is the version most people hear around this time, but that's not the version that was recorded for and used in the film. |  |

It was Peter Auty. I only know this 'cos it was a quiz question in a Christmas Quiz we did a few years ago. Everyone said Aled Jones as well. |  |

And also enjoy the story of Ethel & Ernest (the book, film - or both) - the biography of Raymond Briggs' parents  |  |

Don’t give up the day job Keno. Unless the day job is attempting gags on TWTD, in which case definitely give it up!  | |

Peter Auty had quite a successful career as an opera and classical concert singer, so not all bad. | | | |
