A Close Shave Shaun the Sheep

Timmy Time is an animated comedy made by Aardman Animations. It started broadcasting in the UK on CBeebies on 6 April 2009 at 9:00 a.m. every weekday. The show is a spin off from the Shaun the Sheep animation which itself is a spin off from the Aardman series Wallace & Gromit, which introduced the Shaun character. The show's first series runs for 26 episodes.

Premise and format

In this series, Timmy and his friends have to learn to share, make friends and own up to mistakes. They are supervised by the teachers, Harriet the Heron and Osbourne the Owl. The show is aimed at pre-school aged children which the company described as "a natural step for Aardman". It was aired on Playhouse Disney in the US beginning September 13, 2010.

The show is made up of ten minute episodes, which do not feature any dialogue, much like Shaun the Sheep.

Characters

• Timmy the Lamb who says Baah, the titular character who enjoys being in the spotlight. In many of the episodes he gets into trouble, however he learns from his mistakes, and often tries to help the other characters out when he can. Whenever he is sad he says a miserable-sounding "boouh" instead of "baah". He is the cousin of Shaun the Sheep, and also appears in his TV show.
• Harriet the Heron who speaks through caws and clicks. She strangely looks more like a pelican, than a heron. She is one of the two teachers.
• Osbourne the Owl who hoots is the other teacher of the class.
• Yabba the Duckling who says Quack Quack, very similar to and friendly with Timmy and is voiced by Justin Fletcher.
• Paxton the Piglet who says Oink, characterised by his appetite for food and weight. He wears a blue sweater and is never seen without it.
• Mittens the Kitten who says Mee-yew, like other cats, she hates getting her fur dirty.
• Ruffy the Puppy who says Ruff Ruff, who is energetic but can be mentally rather slow.
• Apricot the Hedgehog pup who says Hicoo, she is very quiet and skittish. When startled or frightened by something she rolls up into a ball.
• Stripey the Badger cub who says Honk. He is a bit sleepy and slow. This is because badgers are nocturnal.
• Kid the Goat who says Maah, like Paxton he has a large appetite but will eat anything in sight. If the thing he is chewing is taken from him he doesn't mind, he just moves on to something else.
• Otus the Owlet who says Twit-Twoo or Hoo, apparently child of Osbourne. Otus enjoys helping and emulating Osbourne, and adores him.
• Finlay the Fox pup, who says Yip Yap and is voiced by Justin Fletcher. He is excitable and full of energy.
• Bumpy the green caterpillar, who is not part of the class but has many background appearances in the show.
