The series takes place in a world where Britain switched back from decimalisation.
This explains why in "Curse Of The Were Rabbit" everyone is seen using pounds, shillings and pence (instead of pounds and pence) and Wallace and Gromit are seen using post 70s technology. It also explains why Wallace uses metric currency to make the robot on the moon work in "A Grand Day Out". In this world, Britain tried decimalisation for a time, then got fed up of it.
Wallace is a Spark and Gromit is a construct.
Self-explanatory.
The moon is made out of Colby cheese.
Despite Wallace's wmg, the moon is in fact made out of Wensleydale.
Wallace will eventually become Inspector Gadget.
And Gromit will become- or already is- Brain. Where Penny comes from is up for debate.
The zoo near West Wallaby Street is a high security prison asylum for animals.
There's Feathers, Preston, giant plant-eating rabbits. The penguin especially - he's even seen looking out a barred window at the end of A Close Shave.
Gromit is one of Snoopy's brothers.
Don't even try to deny the similarities.
Preston is an early model T-600.
His fur looks rubbery, like those of the early robots built by Skynet. Wendolene's father may have accidently started the movement by creating him.
Wallace and Gromit never went to the moon.
But rather some undiscovered cheese planet whos inhabitants went extinct long ago, leaving behind only their greatest creation, some drawer robot that likes to ski.
Gromit takes on the role of Wallace's partner, of sorts, because he never has a long-term one.
Gromit acts very much like a 50's housewife, cooking and knitting and being encouraged to be "sexy" in the film as the lady-rabbit. And much like a sitcom wife, he always has to bail the "dumb male" out of trouble.
Wallace is The Engineer's British relative.
He's a mad scientist who can have a normal conversation with people, but there's no denying he's a bit bonkers. And Pyro has a Feathers McGraw-referencing hat, after all...
A prototype of the Mind-Manipulation-O-Matic was involved in Gromit acquiring sapience.
Gromit, like Preston, is a cyberdog.
Just 'cuz.
Wallace suffers from bipolar disorder.
The poor guy's like clockwork. After a couple months of lounging around, eating cheese, and requiring mechanical assistance to even get out of bed in the morning, he'll — completely unexpectedly and in the span of a single evening — build a spaceship in his basement, or convert his house into an industrial bakery, or start a window-washing business which for some reason requires a motorcycle sidecar that transforms into a prop plane. But then, once the adventure is over and all his earnings have been spent on blow, he'll soon revert back to his sedentary, broke lifestyle.
Somewhere out there, there is a Techno Sweater. And a Techno Hat.
They must never come together.
