Shaun the Sheep

Shaun the Sheep is a British stop-motion animated children's television series produced by Aardman Animations, and commissioned by the British Broadcasting Corporation and West German Broadcasting, a member of the Consortium of public-law broadcasting institutions of the Federal Republic of Germany . It first aired in the UK on CBBC in March 2007. The show consists of 80 episodes in 2 seasons, and is currently on hiatus. It has been broadcast in 180 countries around the world. A premise of the series is that Shaun the sheep exhibits human intelligence, creativity, and behaviour in a farm... setting, which usually provides a situational comedy conflict which Shaun must resolve before the end of each episode. Recurring themes include the characters evading the sheepdog Bitzer and avoiding discovery by the Farmer. Episodes are very much a combination of slapstick and classic silent comedy in Aardman’s recognizable animation style. There is no spoken dialogue, even by human characters.
