Premise of show : Shaun the Sheep is the latest Aardman creation using stop motion clay animation. The titular character originally appeared in A Close Shave with Wallace & Gromit, but now has his own show. He inhabits a small world with no dialogue. The regular characters are the farmer, his sheepdog Bitzer, his cat, the farmer's mean pigs, Shaun and a flock of sheep who mostly follow Shaun's lead. Shaun tends to get himself involved in all manner of crazy schemes but always knows how to get himself out. The stories are told through sight gags, music and noises. It appears locally on ABC for Kids.
