Back in February, Aardman asked Blue Peter viewers to design a character that would appear in the new series of Shaun the Sheep.
Bradley Lord, aged 11, was told the news that his character – XX2000 Robot Dog - had won the contest in front of Blue Peter cameras on Monday, the 27th March, when presenter Matt Baker turned up at his home with an original framed drawing of Shaun the Sheep.
Bradley also got the chance to travel to the Aardman studio to see his character brought to life by their animation team.
The competition was judged by Blue Peter Editor Richard Marson, presenter Matt Baker, Supervising Director of Shaun the Sheep Richard Golezsowski and the creator of Wallace and Gromit, Oscar-winning Nick Park.
Richard Marson said: "As ever, Blue Peter viewers responded to this special challenge magnificently, and the huge response of 47,268 entries makes it our most popular competition in over a decade.” “We can't wait to see Bradley's design brought to life by Aardman."
Richard Goleszowski said: "The competition was a huge success and I was overwhelmed by the number and quality of the entries. It was a very hard decision to make but in the end we choose a design that best fitted the series. "We are looking forward to making the winning design into a model and seeing it on screen."
The winning character will replace Bitzer, the sheep dog who keeps an eye on the flock, in one of the 40 episodes called “Helping Hound”, which you can watch straight after Blue Peter on the 10th of October at 5pm.
