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.
