Oswald is an American children's show made by HiT Entertainment and Nick Jr. The show aired from 2001 to 2003 in the U.S. It also had a British Dub just like Little Einsteins, Blue's Clues, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, ToddWorld, LazyTown and Yo Gabba Gabba! It is known to have Richard Pierce as the titular character, Moir Leslie as the voice of Daisy, and David Holt as the voice of Henry.
When Oswald came to the United Kingdom, a British English dub of the show was produced, with an American actors using British accents. It is a studio who recorded the dub, but it might have been by Salami Studios while The Little Music Company did the voice editing. Only the episodes were dubbed. The British dub aired on Five's Milkshake block in the early and mid 2000's. A few Oswald DVD's have been released in the UK, such as Hats off to Oswald, and as said by Gilby1385, they have the British voices. 13 episodes were uploaded on the Internet as of 2016.
