Characters

edit
  • Georgina (voiced by Julia Sawalha) – A female sheep who has a rather bossy, domineering personality. She sometimes appears to be the self elected leader of the trio and is often too keen to put her opinions forward. Also she mistrusts wolves more than anyone. She leads a flock of sheep in (fictional) "Green Meadow".
  • Gogol (voiced by Enn Reitel) – He is the intellectual of the trio and seems to be the only sheep who spends most of his time in the city. He drives a car, owns a house and has a job as a photographer.
  • Hubert (voiced by David Holt) – The quietest and most modest of the flock; he seldom speaks and lives in "Green Meadow" with his sister, Georgina.
  • Moze (voiced by Enn Reitel) – The devious planner of bad schemes for the wolves' benefit. Wears a black and red striped necktie and sunglasses.
  • Spike (voiced by David Holt) – One of Moze's sidekicks. Wears a green bow tie and sunglasses.
  • Gotcha (voiced by David Holt) – Moze's other sidekick who wears a blue bandana.
  • Kid (vocal effects by Julia Sawalha) – Gotcha's little sister. She says nothing, she just always licks a lollipop and doesn't at all involve herself in the wolves' schemes. Kid wears a green and blue striped skirt and hair bow.
  • Mumsie (voiced by Enn Reitel) – Moze's mother.
  • Captain Bleat (voiced by David Holt)
  • Uncle Elliott (voiced by Enn Reitel)
  • P.C. Butt (voiced by David Holt)
