children and adults alike these shows

premise or compelling story that sets
them apart from the rest well at least
it’s a nice day for it number 10 Postman
Pat Postman Pat Postman Pat Postman Pat
fellows black and white catch this
stop-motion children’s show follows the
daily rounds of Pat Clifton as he
inevitably gets caught up in the
misfortunes of the villagers of
Greendale a fictionalized location
resembling Lancaster Lancashire but
inspired by the valley of long sled ale
most of the post seems to be for Katie
and Tom pottage ah but of course it’s
their birthday always accompanied by his
faithful black and white cat Jess
Pat will do his best to help his friends
out and ultimately get them their post
he had such a load of parcels today some
of them wanted to escape a role model
for his fellow townspeople and the
viewer at home Pat is unwavering in his
kindness and generosity when Pat arrived
at the twins party with Sarah Anne and
the chocolates Katie gave a big smile
the first that day meanwhile the show
success has spawned a 3d
computer-animated film a TV spin-off and
books wouldn’t do to forget my hat on
such a lovely morning number 9 the world
of Peter Rabbit and Friends
this adaptation of Beatrix Potter’s
famous body of work has her collection
of animals voiced by a number of
high-profile names in the British acting
world madam have you lost your way the
likes of Hugh Laurie prunella scales and
Ian Holm lend their considerable talents
to bring the show to life narrow breaths
are not accepted West cuts for mice the
animation is incredibly similar to that
used in the books which makes the
British countryside look almost
whimsical it’s wonderfully innocent and
reminds you of a much simpler time
number eight clangers this is the planet
earth one of the more abstract programs
on this list the clangers are a family
of knitted space mouths like creatures
living on a small planet eating blue
string pudding strangest oz by father
never shown in our night sky and
pennants – they have no capability for
speech themselves but instead use a
series of whistles to communicate with
the narrator giving an overview of the
action whole set ready to fly up into
the sky each episode revolves around the
family creating a new invention or being
visited by spacemen or egg box three of
them out of one hat with little dialogue
its reliant on music to aid the flow of
the story and so it has a beautiful
score to supplement the goings on during
the show
in 2015 the Kleiner’s were revived with
Monty Python’s Michael Palin providing
narration this time around Hey
clever small and tiny have led the egg
box all the way down to their little
lost friend number 7 creature comforts
if you get the bends it can be quite
narcotic you can get a kind of narcotic
effect this stop-motion clay animation
franchise began with a highly unique
mockumentary by Nick Park and Aardman
Animations featuring the voices of
everyday Britons synced up with a
variety of different animals this is a
very important animals a bit like cows
like nursing hazel for poor animals and
them people like old people an unusual
idea for sure but the short film
resulted in pure hilarity as well as in
several UK TV ads and the 2003 TV series
that makes our list and I’ve done all
kinds of I’ve worked in a hotel I worked
in his hotel in Tenma’s though no longer
directed by Park creature comforts the
series was still produced by Aardman
Animations and included aqua phobic
sharks I have to say I don’t really like
the idea of what Spiller a bickering cat
and dog a philosophical amoeba and more
I think I have a very intimate
relationship with water because I’m
primarily composed of it but I do you
think water is one of the great
mysteries the show masterfully twists
the general public’s tendency to ramble
for the camera during interviews and
gives every animal a bizarre and
misguided but amusing outlook on life I
think we should all be in clinical
trials we have a moral obligation
huijun guy never be nas but I take so
many drugs any heart number six Danger
Mouse
the mousey lead character of this spy
romp is the greatest secret agent in his
own particular world and as such is
archenemy to the evil toad Baron
greenback the crown prince of evildoers
Taran greenback episodes follow much the
same plot of intrigue investigation and
world safety as you’d expect from James
Bond but just mousey er with his trusty
cowardly sidekick earnest 10-fold but a
split up and look around right huh how
could I speak up and come with you know
Penfold the white wonder foils the plans
of a selection of narrow dual
anthropomorphic villains week after week
Oh crikey what’s that I guess I’d say
big strong and extremely unfriendly it’s
unmistakable British wit made it a huge
hit with kids and adults alike on both
sides of the North Atlantic
good show diem you’re a hero oh that’s a
bit strong number 5 Paddington
wider audiences may have become familiar
with the bear from deepest darkest Peru
through the 2014 film nice weather for
the Ducks
but Paddington first sprang from book to
screen back in 1975 his series of
misadventures throughout Britain are
displayed in an unusual style that has
Paddington as a stop-motion puppet
moving within a 3d space but interacting
with a 2d animated environment
well no said mr. Brown we were wondering
if we could help you his blue rain
slicker and red hat have become an
iconic and instantly recognizable image
in countries around the world as
demonstrated by the multiple TV
adaptations that followed and the
popularity of the books I’ve never had a
bad about the house before but I have a
feeling things may never be quite the
same again
number four Shaun the Sheep
the shape even mocks MF with roses
cannot bleed after a popular outing next
to wallace and gromit in 1995’s
a close shave the little sheep finally
got his own show in 2007 documenting his
attempts to spice up life on a dull
country farm
the antics of the flock of sheep he
lives with are often smattered with
clever references to popular culture
with even the Great Escape jaws and Star
Wars all getting a little nod even with
no dialogue
the characters are fleshed out and
relatable which is a testament to the
attention to detail and level of
commitment in the production of every
single episode
number three wallace and gromit the
best-known creation of Nick Park and
Aardman Animations focuses on a cheese
loving inventor and his silent yet
sensible dog wallace and gromit are
considered icons of British culture and
in their various adventures have
traveled to the moon created robotic
trousers and fought a wear rabbit the
last one in a feature-length film Oh
gromek I don’t want to be a giant rabbit
ah the mouse has come from his bungee
although it wasn’t the first claymation
show ever this series of short films
certainly set new boundaries for what
was possible with the method
new installments of the show rarely come
out but when they do they are some of
the most eagerly anticipated pieces of
TV son number two The Wind in the
Willows
carrying on from the popular film of the
same name we go into the world of the
river bank that is home to ratty mole
and toad they have frequent conflicts
with the mischievous wily weasels while
also having to contend with the
environmental destruction of their
natural habitat which represents the
main message of the show so even if you
had the money to fight the railway you
would almost certainly lose it and yet
if we don’t fight it we will certainly
lose our home rather than using
traditional animation malleable latex
figurines are used for stop-motion that
makes for an interesting and unique
visual appearance whatever our
differences we are one that we must
stand together against a greater enemy
thanks to its success the series has
since led to a feature-length film and
TV spin-off lovely hours mr. tall
without a bitch magnificent before we
reveal our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions Oh warm welcome
friendly kind of guy huh Nosa a
pyromania oh he’s nothing of the sort
mr. Igor I’m Peppa Pig this is my little
brother George chick this is Bobby pig
at this study kick you exercises in the
morning tune you up for the day number
one Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends
Thomas is a Tank Engine lives at a big
station on the Island of Sodor
even though Thomas is the main Tank
Engine he’d never be able to solve any
problem without the help of his friends
a group of locomotives and road vehicles
with a vast set of personalities and
uses Percy was feeling
it’s not food you’re not leaving any
posts for me said on the island of sodor
there’s always some problem or accident
that only the trains are capable of
solving that’s the bridge Lubell was
very pleased to see her coffin and the
porter led them away one person narrates
all this action and that individual
happened to be mr. conductor played by
Beatles drummer Ringo Starr for the
first two seasons the animation which
included moving models stop-motion and
hand drawn as well as the environment
used in the children’s TV series are
reminiscent of a model train set which
taps directly into a child’s imagination
and brings everything to life
in an unforgettable fashion the driver
tries to put on the brakes what Thomas
couldn’t stop do you agree with our list
