It airs on CBeebies, so I'm giving fair warning in case you need your iPhones to remind you before you rush out the door for work.
It's important to watch. First, it is local. and Second, it's made by Andrew Davenport, the "genius" who introduced us to Teletubbies and In the Night Garden...
Aimed at 18-month old babies, Moon and Me is about a doll named Peppianna who comes alive when the moon shines down on her toy house. When she wakes up, she writes a letter to the moon. But little does she know that the moon lives a character called Moon Baby who comes to the toy house and brings the other toys to life.
It is a mix of puppetry and stop-motion.
Set to air on the Bedtime Hour schedule on CBeebies, Moon and Me may or not replace In the Night Garden... in the schedule. I'm panicking in case!
Full of catchphrases such as "Tiddle Toddle", the show has a character called Moon Boy who could double for the creator.
Davenport believes his newest show will transport toddlers to the land of Nod.
Characters who may or may not appear include Mr. Onions, who begins every sentence by saying Onions -- Collywobble, Lilyplant, and Lambkin.
Towner said "If any of you didn't have a lump in your throat toward the end of that, you are not human and you shouldn't be working with children."
It premiered at MIPJunior in Cannes.
Sprout will pick up the series in the US.
