Possibly the best show TV

If there are people out there who are not aware of 'Shaun the Sheep' (I met one such benighted soul only yesterday), then go and watch it now on the BBC iplayer.

Pure delight.  I record it regularly and watch whenever I need ten minutes to make me smile happily and laugh out loud a couple of times.

Brilliant animation (Wallace and Grommet style), lovely scripts and a central character who has the ability to look innocent whenever necessary.

A neat touch is that the words are all 'language-less' so there's no need to translate for foreign markets.  You know what everyone is saying by tone and expression.

And for those who can't access the BBC iplayer, here's another episode.

I agree with you! I am fortunate because Shaun the Sheep is on Czech TV every Sunday morning and I watch it in the kitchen while cooking. I love everything, Shaun never disappoints!!!
Also my friend gave me a DVD with all the episodes, lalalalala!!!
Of course, thanks for this episode here.

Shaun is absolutely brilliant!

I've got it set on Series Repeat on my Sky+ box to make sure I don't miss it :-)
