Just when ewe thought our yokel image couldn't get any worse... 09:40 - Sep 7 with 954 viewsWeWereZombies

'Shaun the Sheep, created by Aardman Animations, first appeared in the award-winning Wallace and Gromit film, A Close Shave, in 1995.

Solo success followed after the firm's first employee, Richard Starzak, from Ipswich, devised, wrote and directed a spin-off series and co-wrote and co-directed a movie...

"Yeah, of course [he is an Ipswich fan] - I was directing the movie and was determined to get something of Ipswich into that - I think it was a scarf on one set," he said.

"But unluckily, and necessarily, it was cut from the film at the end so I never quite achieved it.''

[edit: I was going to suggest a counter view 'Get behind your sheep' but that's Wrexham, isn't it ?]

I used to like Shaun the Sheep when my kids were young.
Coincidentally, I knew one of the writers for a short time. It was interesting to hear how he wrote the storyline and script with no dialogue.

"Look, I don't wanna be the same as everybody else. That's why I'm a Mod, see?"

As in farmer watching 'Match of the Day' - 'That shot would have gone in but it was just over the...' Shaun 'baaa'

It was clever getting Vic Reeves in to provide non verbal dialogue too.

I'm of the vintage from when we used to get "sheep, sheep, sheep sh@ggers" sung at us.

It was funny that we sung that to Swansea away last season. It's a bit like the meme of the two spidermen pointing at each other!
