As well as the core cast, guest voices included Paul Merton, Morwenna Banks, Judith Chalmers, Antoine de Caunes, Bob Holness, Simon Day, Bob Monkhouse, Jonathan Ross, Graham Norton, Arthur Smith, June Whitfield, Kathy Burke, Pam Ayres and Eddie Izzard.

These include: Several episodes of Rex the Runt contain inside references to other projects created by Aardman Animations: All airdates are sourced from the BBC Genome.

These include: As previously mentioned, Rex the Runt consisted mainly of two short films that were entirely animated by Richard Starzak during his free time.

At the time, the team at Aardman had never known about these films, and didn't discover them until a year later, as they found potential to turn these shorts into a series.

A storyboard artist continually sketched boards for episodes to be shot later in the schedule, and there was a model-shop attached to the studio (where the models and props would be made).
