To celebrate the debut of "Tinkershrimp & Dutch" episode one, The Drum recently caught up with the Greg Stevenson, the co-founder of Ralph, the London-based creative agency behind "Tinkershrimp & Dutch", and creative director Chris Stack to discuss the origins of the project and the unique animation process.


Describing how himself and Stack dreamt up the idea in the pub, Stevenson said that Nickelodeon gave the team "free reign" when it came to scripting.

"It's very different from advertising where you're locked down into the tone of voice and definitely can't be as ridiculous and rude as we are," he asserted.

The score for the show was written and performed by Nick McCarthy from Franz Ferdinand along with Ralph producer Andrew Knowles. The pair told The Drum their creative remit was pretty "loose", and explained how they would use phrases like "creepy soundbed" as the basis for their competitions.

When asked about their long-term ambitions for "Tinkershrimp & Dutch", Stack and Stevenson said that expanding the format and becoming a household name were high on the agenda – "we want to see lunchboxes with the characters on them," they added.
