Tinkershrimp & Dutch is a fun British TV show made for kids. It was created by Gregor Stevenson and Chris Stack. The show first appeared on Nickelodeon UK and Nicktoons UK's online services on January 15, 2016. Each episode is about 5 minutes long.

What's the Story?

Imagine a brave langoustine (that's like a small lobster!) named Tinkershrimp and a super cool slow loris (a cute, slow-moving monkey) named Dutch. These two are best friends and work as special bodyguards for a king. Their job is to keep King Hunnybun safe from all sorts of trouble!

Meet the Characters

Here are the main characters you'll meet in Tinkershrimp & Dutch:

  • Tinkershrimp (voiced by Darren Evans) is a smart and funny langoustine from Wales. He's one of King Hunnybun's two loyal bodyguards.
  • Dutch (voiced by John Boyega) is a slow loris with an amazing secret power: he can travel back in time!
  • King Hunnybun (voiced by Alex Lowe) is the ruler of a place called "New Great Great Britain." He often needs his bodyguards to help him out of tricky situations.
  • Ingrid (voiced by Katia Kvinge) is the pilot of King Hunnybun's awesome mobile Double Decker Castle. She flies them wherever they need to go!
  • Michael the Fowl (voiced by Sam Riley) is a headless chicken and the main bad guy in the series. He's always trying to cause trouble for King Hunnybun and his friends.
