Crowds flock to meet Shaun

SHAUN the Sheep arrived in the Capital yesterday and met some of the local flock ahead of his star performance at the Playhouse next month.

The Wallace and Gromit star is enjoying a new fleece of life with his live children's show, in which he is joined by the baa-rking mad Bitzer, Shirley and Timmy. It runs from April 6-9.

Shaun's Big Show, billed as "fabulous madcap mayhem", has already won an International Emmy.
