Wallace + Gromit

Anyone think a cameo by Shaun's original owner(s) would work?
Maybe Bitzer needs a friend to help him find some lost bones, so Gromit turns up? Or the Farmer wants an invention to save time on his farm, so researches Wallace in the phone book?
What do all Shaun fans think?
P.S. Shaun the Sheep 1st series, of 9 eps, out now on DVD; plus something extra called "Shape up with Shaun", maybe like the training he did for Shirley, a la 'Rocky'? Also, from HMV, you can get 4 limited edition art cards included, basically of Shaun in the role of Nipper, peering at the gramophone (like Gromit did), but then getting stuck inside the horn bit.
P.P.S. I'm really glad so many people have posted on this board - I'm not the only one who loves the show then!

I think "Shaun the Sheep" is a prequel to "Wallace & Gromit in A Close Shave". Shaun lived on the farm and had all his adventures there. Then Preston and Wendolene Ramsbottom came along and captured the flock. They took them away in a van, in the night. Shaun said a quick goodbye to his friends and broke free from the van and sneaked into Wallace and Gromit's house. You see?

I like your thinking, pal, though I'm not sure if Nick Park has confirmed your theory.
However, I think somehow Wallace asked the local farm to take in Shaun and his friends, after they overran his house, and Gromit found it too tiring to clear up all the mess. Plus, more importantly, they ate all of Wallace's Wensleydale!
Either of our theories would work, though.

I really enjoy watching Shaun The Sheep. Because of how much I like it I watched a few episodes of Wallace and Gromit. I didn't like any of them at all. That show just isn't for me.

Because of that I don't think I'd enjoy mixing the two shows. It isn't something I'd be interested in watching.
