Western Animation: Joshua Jones

Joshua Jones was a stop-motion animated show from the creators of Fireman Sam. The premise features Joshua Jones, owner of a canal boat on the Clearwater Canal, and his adventures helping out the townsfolk. The voices were provided by Barbara Flynn and George Layton.

Joshua Jones features the following tropes

Butt Monkey - Spanner
Friend to All Living Things - Fiona Cashmore
Getting Crap Past the Radar - The word "Spanner" is often used as a vulgar insult in real life.
Green Aesop - And it was actually quite subtle.
Hey, It's That Voice! - George Layton voices all the male characters.
Hilarious in Hindsight: This could be considered as (sort of) similar to The Only Way Is Essex, with "dizzy blonde" Sharon being similar somewhat to a certain character in the show...
Intergenerational Friendship - Joshua and Ravi.
Limited Social Circle
Meaningful Name - Local rich jerk Mr Cashmore. Also Trojan the horse. Possibly Spanner too.
The Napoleon - Mr Cashmore.
Repetitive Name - Joshua Jones.
Rich Jerk - Mr Cashmore.
Surrounded by Idiots - Mr Cashmore's attitude towards Spanner. Not that he's that bright himself.
Talking to Himself - Happens a lot since only two voice artists worked on this show.
