Chris (July 2010 – 22 October 2019) was a Merino ram who gained international fame in September 2015 after being shorn of a record amount of wool in Canberra, Australia. Chris was named after a sheep character in the sitcom Father Ted (specifically from the episode "Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep" ) by local Bonner resident Sue Dowling, who spotted the sheep wandering in a paddock near the Bonner district in Canberra.
Sykes was a dog actor from Clifton, Oxfordshire, England. He was best known in the UK for his appearance as Harvey in Thinkbox's television commercial and, under his real name, in Midsomer Murders (Series fourteen to eighteen, inclusive). He also appeared in several Hollywood blockbusters. Originally found as a stray in 2004, he was owned by animal trainer and stunt dog specialist Gill Raddings. Since January 2016 Sykes had been in semi-retirement with him no longer being displayed as available for hire on Gill Raddings' agency website; however, if a producer from a previous role of his had needed Sykes they were able to use him.
The official Midsomer Murders Facebook page reported that he died in June 2019.

JK Rowling has surprised fans with the announcement of a brand new children's book, which she is publishing in daily instalments on her website for free.
The Ickabog is her first children's story not to be linked to Harry Potter. She wrote it over a decade ago for her own children and has now dusted it off.
It's for "children on lockdown, or even those back at school during these strange, unsettling times", she said.
She had previously referred to it only as an unnamed "political fairytale".
Chapters of The Ickabog are being published daily until 10 July on The Ickabog website.
There have been no Covid-19 related deaths reported by Northern Ireland's Department of Health in the past 24 hours.
It is the first day since 18 March - almost 10 weeks ago - that no deaths have been reported in Northern Ireland.
The latest figures from the department state the total number of people who have died remains the same as Monday's total of 514 deaths.
Health Minister Robin Swann said it was "a clear sign of progress".
"We all have been waiting for a day like this," he told Stormont's daily press conference on Tuesday.

NBC's Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon has apologised for wearing blackface in a Saturday Night Live skit from 2000.
The clip went viral on Monday, and led to calls for Fallon to quit the show.
In his apology on Tuesday, Fallon said there was "no excuse" for his actions, and thanked the public "for holding me accountable".
Furlough is simply smoke and mirrors postponing the inevitable. Do people expect companies and employment to magically return in October? All this is doing is stacking more and more debt on the generation to come. It HAS to end. The cure is more damaging than the cause

What do astronauts eat for breakfast?
It was a big question ahead of the flight - what would the crew have to eat before leaving Earth? No-one seemed to have an answer earlier in the week. Now we do.
Supper in the capsule this evening will be soldier food: Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE). Perhaps not so appetising.

Taxi Montreal unveiled the second phase of its campaign for the Dairy Farmers of Canada yesterday. As well as advertising, the initiative includes what’s got to be the most elaborate online game show to date and the creation of a new wordmark intended to make Canadian cheese instantly recognizable – a design that makes a heart out of the two ‘e’s in cheese.
The 2020 Netball Superleague season has been terminated with immediate effect because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The season was suspended on 15 March after only three full rounds of fixtures.
Governing body England Netball made the "difficult decision" following consultation with the league's board, all 10 teams and stakeholders.
Instead a "standalone short-form" competition could be held in the autumn if "achievable and safe to do so".
England Netball chief executive Fran Connolly said she was also in discussions over a small-scale international tournament with Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, which could take place in the autumn to keep up the national side's sharpness, provide revenue to help the Superleague and keep the sport in the public eye.

Ianis Hagi says he rebuffed interest from other clubs to secure a permanent move to Rangers.
The Romania international, 21, has signed a "long-term" deal after Rangers negotiated their option to buy the RKC Genk winger for an undisclosed fee.
Hagi, son of Barcelona and Real Madrid great Gheorghe Hagi, scored three goals in 12 games after moving to Ibrox on loan in January.
"My priority was always to return to Glasgow and play for Rangers," he said.
"I am excited about re-joining the squad for pre-season and putting on the famous shirt once again."
Morecambe defender Christian Mbulu has died at the age of 23.
The former Motherwell player began his professional career at Millwall and also represented Brentwood, Braintree and Crewe.
London-born Mbulu moved to Morecambe in January, after a short spell at Crewe.
In a statement, Morecambe described Mbulu as an "extremely popular member of the squad" and said "news of his sudden and untimely passing has been a shock to us all".
They added: "His loss will be painfully felt by all who had the pleasure of knowing him."
He made seven appearances for Crewe after signing a short-term deal in October and signed for fellow League Two side Morecambe in January until the end of the season, making three appearances.
Crewe manager David Artell told BBC Radio Stoke: "He was always smiling, he was an optimistic guy, and you could see that he'd been brought up properly.
"He had good morals, his work ethic was terrific, and he was everything you'd want in a human being really. It's so sad."
Mbulu spent one season with Motherwell after joining from Millwall in 2018, and made six league appearances during his time at Fir Park.
"We are shocked to hear of the news of Christian's death," Motherwell chairman Jim McMahon said. "He was such a friendly, pleasant young man who we loved having around Fir Park.
"Our thoughts are with his family during this incredibly difficult time."
