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.

Shaun the Sheep, a playful and energetic stop-motion animated television series from Aardman Animation, recently debuted on Disney Channel during Primetime Sundays. News of this acquisition by Disney Channel came only weeks prior to its premiere, but viewers familiar with the warm heartedness often leading its protagonists and the calamities they oft-engage feel blessed to once again get their hands on another alternate media animated property.

Shaun the Sheep, whose brief cameo stole the show in Aardman Animations' A Close Shave, gets his own show on BBC1 on Monday - more than 11 years after his first appearance. Using Aardman's trademark Plasticine animation, Shaun's eponymous programme will run for 40 episodes of seven minutes each. Viewers will discover that when no humans are looking, seemingly placid sheep get up to all sorts of shenanigans - including aerobics, camping, football and standing on each other's backs in perilously unsteady towers.
