| Just when ewe thought our yokel image couldn't get any worse... 09:40 - Sep 7 with 954 views | WeWereZombies | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/art '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 ?] [Post edited 7 Sep 9:48]

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. |  |

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

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! |  | |  |
