Aardman creates BBC One Christmas idents

In collaboration with BBC Creative, Aardman is delighted to have created this year's BBC One Christmas idents, with three festive scenes featuring Shaun the Sheep and the flock!

The idents have been made to coincide with Aardman's upcoming special, Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas, which airs on BBC One at 6pm on Christmas Eve.

Charlotte Moore, Chief Content Officer, BBC, says: “Nothing brings audiences together like Christmas on the BBC, and the star of this year’s BBC’s Christmas idents is also at the heart of our festive family offer, everyone’s favourite animated animal Shaun the Sheep.”

Sean Clarke, Managing Director, Aardman, says: “Aardman and the BBC have a rich history of collaboration and this new series of idents is something we are very proud of. It is doubly satisfying as the scenes will air ahead of the release of the brand-new Shaun the Sheep special, going out on BBC One this Christmas. We hope together these new idents and the return of Shaun will bring extra cheer to families this Christmas.”
