Shaun the Sheep tops BBC children's characters poll

Shaun the Sheep has been named the most popular BBC children's character of the last seven decades, beating off competition from Postman Pat and Sooty in a poll by Radio Times.

British Comedy Guide, 15th July 2014

Shaun made his first official appearance with Wallace and Gromit in A Close Shave in 1995, and has since starred in three series of the Aardman animation. Based on slapstick and silent comedy, each episode sees Shaun getting into scrapes on the farm. Today a furniture removal van creates a traffic jam in the lane, giving Bitzer the farm dog a tricky problem to solve.

Even sports-phobics should enjoy Mossybottom Farm's Olympics, with their vuvuzela-tooting crowd and a porcine attempt to sabotage the BMX race. Today's double bill starts with Strictly Come Judo, an event that the International Olympic Committee might consider. Then it's the ribbon routine, which our woolly hero finishes with a flourish.

Aardman Animations plan new Shaun the Sheep film

Aardman Animations, the Oscar-winning company behind Shaun the Sheep, has started work on a new feature film starring the character.

BBC News, 27th January 2011

He may not have the brand recognition of Wallace and Gromit among adults, but chances are that any anklebiters in your vicinity will already be well-versed in the ways of Shaun the Sheep. For the uninitiated, though: Nick Park's cheeky farmyard dweller made his debut back in 1995 in A Close Shave, before getting his own series in 2007. His adventures consist largely of pulling the wool over the eyes of the Farmer and Bitzer, the long-suffering sheepdog. Terrific fun, showing daily.

DVD Review: Shaun the Sheep

Shaun the Sheep and Aardman Animations once again prove that stop-motion animation is alive and well. This stop-motion animated series is about a flock of sheep on a farm and the trouble they get into in their daily lives. The series centers on the adventures of Shaun, the title character, who is the lead sheep in the flock.

Shaun the Sheep Series 2 Update

It's already been broadcast in Germany and has been getting some fantastic reviews over there. The Germans are very big fans of Shaun and even made a 'making of' program for their "Show with the Mouse" which is a bit like our Blue Peter. That involved a team coming over from Germany to film us all at work in the studio. We've watched it and they did a marvellous job, but as none of us speak German they could have been saying anything! Anyway, we hope to include the programme they made on one of the DVD's released in 2010 and if not I'm sure we'll get it online somewhere for everyone to see.
