"Muffin the Mule, Muffin the Mule& He likes playing round, and acting the fool..."

Animated fun with a gang of animals in Muffinham. If you have a problem, then Muffin is your mule -- with the help of his thinking cap, he is fantastic at solving problems and a brilliant friend. Join Muffin and his friends Peregrine the Penguin, Oswald the Ostrich, Willie the Worm, Louise the Lamb, Grace the Giraffe, Morris and Doris the Fieldmice, Peter the Pup and Monty the Monkey as they learn about life.

This 26-episode TV series targeted children between the ages of 2 and 5. "Wish Upon a Star" was the first episode.

Remake of the 1946-55 British Broadcasting Corporation marionette series of the same name. The original "Muffin the Mule" has a place in British television history as the first- ever TV character brand. The producers of the new series worked closely with the BBC to retain the same subject matter and core values of fun, friendship and loyalty.

Said Theresa Plummer-Andrews, the head of acquisitions for CBBC: "It is Muffin's 60th birthday in 2006, so this is a tribute to a character who played a major role in the beginning of children's television programs. "In the 21st century, Muffin will be an animated character who lives on a town farm and helps the other animals solve their problems."

Based on the characters from Muffin the Mule and his friends, who were all Hogarths Puppets. Courtesy of Sally McNally Holdings Ltd.
