Hey Duggee

Client | Studio AKA

Fonic has been working with Studio AKA on the award-winning pre-school series since the inaugural series back in 2014, as well as during the show’s developmental stages.

Described as one of the great triumphs of 21st century children’s television by The Daily Telegraph, the show is based around a children’s playgroup called The Squirrel Club which is run by a big dog called Duggee. The Squirrel Club is a place where kids have adventures and earn badges for their accomplishments.

There are five children who go to The Squirrel Club. Their parents drop them off every day and they spend a couple of hours having fun and adventures with Duggee, in his clubhouse, and outside in his fantastical world before being picked up again at the end of the show. It’s all about doing things, and Duggee likes to do a lot and go to lots of places.

Trivia

The show was previously called Chop Chop. There were six squirrels, one called Bertie.  Unfortunately, Bertie grew up too quickly and he became a bus driver (he can be seen driving the bus on the opening shots of the series)!
