When your idea of reformatting a hard drive involves hitting it with a hammer until it stops playing up and you've just spent the hours of midnight to 4am salvaging all your precious files off your computer after a major league crash, thenthere's no better way to relax than a dose of Shaun The Sheep!

Served up in a five minute segments on BBC1 in the afternoon - during the Children's BBC slot - this is a dose of silliness from the people who brought us Wallace & Gromit. There's a definite Britishness about everything Aardman touches, but given the universal appeal of Wallace and his canine sidekick, Shaun should do even better as his adventures are dialogue free and told purely through visuals.
There is an engaging, cheeky innocence about Shaun and all his flock that makes them instantly engaging - especially when cast against mischevious, rap-loving pigs or psychotic bulls.
And I doubt anything will tickle my funny bone as much in the near future as the sight of three sheep disguised in a scarecrow's clothes catching a bus into town to order a pizza in the utterly bonkers episode entitled simply "Takeaway".
