Flynn/Behind the Scenes

Television Series
Flynn is a fictional character created by Sharon Miller.

In 2011, Flynn made his debut in the special, Day of the Diesels and he was absent in the eighteenth series and he got absent again in the twenty-second series

Starting with his introduction, Flynn was voiced by Rupert Degas on both sides of the Atlantic. Following Degas' departure, Ben Small took over the role for the seventeenth series only, before his own departure in the next series. In the nineteenth series episode Toad and the Whale, Flynn is voiced by Kerry Shale in both English dubs, though Rob Rackstraw took over the role afterwards. All 4 voice Flynn with an American accent, though Shale and Rackstraw give him a much deeper voice than Degas and Small.

CGI Model
In 2009, the series introduced Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) as a replacement for the show's long-standing live-action models. In 2010, Flynn was modelled in full CGI by Nitrogen Studios for the 2011 film, Day of the Diesels. The model was "hand-sculpted" in Maya, a 3D animation and modelling software.

According to Greg Tiernan, the CGI models are subjected to many rounds of review before they are submitted to HiT Entertainment for final input and approval.

Flynn has had a modification throughout the television series. This includes:
 * Series 23:
 * His horn sound changed and now reuses Dennis' horn sound.
