Guess with Jess is an interactive animated children's television series featuring Jess the Cat from the television series Postman Pat.[1] The show follows Jess' adventures with his friends on Greendale Farm in London, England, and how they always try to solve each other's problems with a Big Question, which is answered by "asking, testing, find a way". Jess and his friends search for the answers to science and nature-based questions, allowing children to learn about the world around them. 52 episodes were produced.
Unlike his appearance in Postman Pat, Jess in this series has the ability to talk to his friends on the farm.
New episodes of the series originally aired on the DreamWorks Channel in Thailand until 2020.[2]
Jess (voiced by Charlie George) is the protagonist and host of the series. He is a young, curious black and white cat with green eyes, from the CBeebies series Postman Pat.
Willow (voiced by Morwenna Banks) is a skewbald horse wearing a sunhat. The largest of all the characters, she acts as a wise mother figure to Jess. Willow shares the stable with the puppies, Joey and Jinx.
Mimi (voiced by Jo Wyatt) is a pink rabbit and Jess' best friend who lives in a hutch around the farmyard garden. Mimi has an affinity with arts and crafts and she enjoys making anything colourful or unique.
Baa (voiced by Bailey Pepper) is a sheep with a blue beanie and a blue and white scarf. He always hangs out with Billie, who both live up in buttercup meadow. Baa tends to be afraid of more things than the others and particularly hates getting wet because the water stays in his wool a long time, making him cold and miserable and also makes his wool heavy.
Billie (voiced by Beth Chalmers) is a field mouse. She is often seen with Baa and rides around on his hat, since Baa can get places faster than she can. She carries a magnifying glass and a set of binoculars so she can investigate the "big question" further.
Horace (voiced by Daniel Anthony) is a frog who wears large glasses and lives at the pond. He loves making music and instruments out of natural found objects.
Joey (voiced by Kyle Stanger) and Jinx (voiced by Sian Taylor) are two twin puppy siblings. Joey (the boy) wears a blue collar with a bone shaped dog tag and Jinx (the girl) wears a pink collar with a flower shaped dog tag and a flower in her hair. They both love to run about the farm, rolling about in the mud and jumping over puddles.
A host of minor characters – such as Sammy Snail, Brown Bird, Kevin the fish, etc.
