I just realised something. He looks like someone merged Rowan Atkinson and Peter Capaldi.
Also: cultural note - the Yan Tan Tethera counting system exists in slightly different forms in many areas of the country.

Yan Tan Tethera is a sheep counting rhyme/system traditionally used by shepherds in Northern England and earlier in other parts of England and the British Isles.[1] Until the Industrial Revolution, the use of traditional number systems was common among shepherds, especially in the dales of the Lake District. The Yan Tan Tethera system was also used for counting stitches in knitting. The words derive from a Brythonic Celtic language.
