Don't Eat the Neighbours

Rabbit lives in a forest in England with his children: Lucy, Peter, and Emily. Wolf, who has been driven out of Canada by the Brotherhood of Wolves, moves in next door with his sons, Simon and Barry. Although Wolf has a strong desire to eat Rabbit, his children develop close friendships with Lucy, rejecting traditional dietary preferences.

Summarize Fact Check

Where the children have normal names, the adult characters are named after the animals they are.

• Rabbit (voiced by Robert Lindsay) — Rabbit is confident, clever, and quick-witted. A lot of the series' humour is based around the conflict between him, Wolf, and Fox. He is also the widowed father of Lucy, Peter, and Emily. Rabbit is tall and wears blue trousers, red Converse shoes, a white shirt, and a flowery jacket. It is mentioned in the series that Rabbit's wife was eaten by a wolf.
• Lucy (voiced by Doon Mackichan) — Rabbit's eldest child, Lucy is calm and often comes across as smarter than her father. She is good friends with Simon and Barry, despite the conflict between their fathers.
• Peter and Emily — Rabbit's youngest children are twin babies. Due to their age, they do not speak in any episodes.
• Wolf (voiced by Michael McShane) — Exiled from his native Canada by the Brotherhood of Wolves, Wolf has relocated to a forest in England where he lives next door to Rabbit. He is dim-witted and clumsy (though he has occasional moments of brilliance) and often teams up with Fox in his attempts to catch Rabbit. Wolf is also the father of Simon and Barry. Wolf can prove to be dangerously angry and scary at times when it comes to planning on both hunting and killing his prey. He is tall and wears a pinkish-red shirt, black leather jacket and pants, and red platform-like shoes (which resemble women's boots). It is mentioned in the series that Wolf's wife left him for another wolf.
• Simon (voiced by Patrick McKenna) — Wolf's eldest son, Simon is smarter than his brother, Barry, though he is not all that bright himself.
• Barry (voiced by Seán Cullen) — Wolf's youngest son. Barry is good-hearted but rather dim-witted. He has a small crush on Lucy.
• Fox (voiced by Simon Callow) — Wolf's posh friend sometimes talks to his mother, who appears to be a voice inside his head. Like Wolf, Fox, too, is an enemy of Rabbit and regularly tries to eat him. Fox can be very clever when it comes to devising schemes to catch Rabbit, though Rabbit usually manages to foil his plans. He wears a white dress shirt, a yellow waistcoat, a maroon cravat, dark chartreuse pants, and brown knee-high boots.
• Terrapin (voiced by Tim McInnerny) — Rabbit's best friend. Terrapin is very cowardly, although there have been occasions where he has shown courage. His twin brother, Colin, looks exactly like him, save for his moustache. Terrapin wears a scuba diver's wetsuit and flippers.
• Bear (voiced by Simon Callow) — Lucy's confidant and advisor, he is often seen painting. Barry and Simon are frightened of him, though he has a kindly personality. Rabbit and Terrapin are also scared of him.
• Sheep — The sheep in the show are Wolf's lunch & dinner that he always tries to catch one by one if they are in his way.
