FIRST LOOK: SHAUN THE SHEEP RETURNS THIS CHRISTMAS ON BBC

Shaun's seasonal excitement turns to dismay when a farmhouse raid to get bigger stockings for the Flock inadvertently leads to Timmy going missing.

Sue Deeks, Head of BBC Programme Acquisition, says: “Aardman lovingly produce stories with warmth, personality and humour, so we are truly delighted that, following the huge success of The Farmer’s Llamas, the next project in our continuing relationship is another wonderful Shaun the Sheep special.”

Sean Clarke, Managing Director of Aardman, says: “Aardman films have come to be synonymous with the festive period, which is a real honour. We’re delighted to be continuing this tradition with a Shaun the Sheep seasonal special that will premiere on the BBC for Christmas 2021.”

Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas is streaming this Christmas on BBC iPlayer.
