The episodes are 15 minutes long, consisting mostly of flash animation, but clips of real life scenarios are also used. These clips were filmed at various nursery schools across Wales.[1] The series has won awards from BAFTA Cymru[2] and the Celtic Media Festival.[3]
Animation production for the third season was taken over by Calon in 2005, following Siriol Productions move to their London headquarters.[4]
A spin off series of four books were published by Gomer Press.[5]
Plot and Characters
The three main characters live in a house shaped like a bobble hat in a school boy named Owen's bedroom. The main characters play in a band and help Owen solve everyday problems, then perform a song about it at the end. At one point in every episode, they would obtain a clue to the problem's solution by looking through their "bobinoculars", which show video footage from the real world.[1]
