As Aardman Animations’ Shaun prepares for his own film, we round up the flock of ovine stars who have made their mark in the human world Since his cameo role in Wallace & Gromit’s A Close Shave two decades ago, Aardman Animations’ plucky plasticine hero Shaun the Sheep has become a genuine fleecy phenomenon. His CBBC series has been exported worldwide and a film spin-off gambols friskily on to cinema screens this Friday (tagline: “Catch them if ewe can”). To mark the ovine occasion, we round up and rate the star’s famous fleecy rivals… The nursery rhyme has been around for at least 300 years, but debate about its meaning still bleats on. Was it a protest song against the slave trade or medieval taxes on wool? It was certainly the subject of “loony left” scare stories in the 80s and 90s, when PC nurseries changed the lyrics to “little sheep” or, randomly, “rainbow sheep”. Baa-rometer rating: 3/5 Dolly the Sheep Named after Dolly Parton because the crucial cells were taken from a mammary gland, Dolly was the world’s first mammal successfully cloned from an adult. She was born at Edinburgh University in 1996 and became quite the celebrity. When Dolly died, she was stuffed and displayed in the National Museum of Scotland. Baa-rometer rating: 5/5 Larry the Lamb Not to be confused with actor Larry Lamb, this Larry was the lead character in BBC radio’s Toytown plays. Alongside sidekick Dennis the Dachshund, Larry shot to livestock stardom in 1929 on the Children’s Hour slot, then moved to ITV in the 70s. Baa-rometer rating: 1/5 Lamb Chop Created in 1957 by ventriloquist Shari Lewis, Lamb Chop had long eyelashes and a feisty attitude. Alongside fellow sock puppet Hush Puppy, the ovine diva remained a fixture on American pre-school TV into the 90s, winning Emmys and even being made a three-star general by the US military. When Lewis died, daughter Mallory took up the woolly mantle. Baa-rometer rating: 4/5 Clarice Starling’s lamb When FBI rookie Starling interrogates serial killer Hannibal Lecter in Thomas Harris’s Silence of the Lambs, the flesh-scoffing psychiatrist trades information for personal confessions. Clarice recalls how she was orphaned and sent to live on her uncle’s Montana farm but ran away in horror when she heard spring lambs being slaughtered – trying to save one as she fled. Baa-rometer rating: 2/5 McMutton Football comic strip Hot Shot Hamish, which appeared in Scorcher, Tiger and Roy of the Rovers, followed gentle Hebridean giant Hamish Balfour, who had the world’s hardest shot. Hamish also owned a ferocious “wee pet sheep” called McMutton, fond of butting his master’s enemies. Ram-raiding, if you will. Baa-rometer rating: 2/5
