Guess with Jess is a fun British-Canadian animated TV show for kids. It stars Jess the Cat, who you might know from the Postman Pat series. In this show, Jess lives on Greendale Farm in London, England, with his animal friends. They go on exciting adventures and always try to solve problems. How do they do it? By asking a "Big Question" and then using a special method: "asking, testing, find a way." This helps Jess and his friends learn all about science and nature.
Unlike in Postman Pat, Jess can talk to his friends on the farm in this series. There are 52 episodes in total. You can sometimes find new episodes of the show airing on the DreamWorks Channel in Thailand.

Meet the Characters of Guess with Jess
This section introduces the main characters who join Jess on his adventures. Each character helps solve the "Big Questions" in their own unique way.

Baa the Sheep: A Cautious Pal
Baa is a sheep who wears a blue beanie and a blue and white scarf. He often hangs out with Billie the mouse. Baa can be a bit shy and doesn't like getting wet. This is because his wool gets heavy and cold when it's soaked. Bailey Pepper voices Baa.
Billie the Fieldmouse: The Little Investigator
Billie is a tiny fieldmouse who is usually seen with Baa. She often rides on Baa's hat because he can move much faster than she can. Billie is very observant and carries a magnifying glass and binoculars. She uses these tools to help investigate the "big question" in each episode. Maria Darling is the voice of Billie.
