What happens

Tweenies is a British live action puppet children's television series created by Will Brenton and Iain Lauchlan, and produced by Tell-Tale Productions for the BBC. The programme was focused on four preschool-aged characters, known as the "Tweenies"; Jake, Fizz, Milo & Bella, whilst playing, singing, dancing and learning in a fictional playgroup in England. They are cared for by two adult Tweenies; Judy & Max and his dog; Doodles, and later another dog, Izzles who belongs to Judy. Tweenies first premiered on 6 September 1999 on the BBC's children's block and consisted of a total of 390 episodes, with the final episode airing on 25 July 2002. Repeated episodes of the series aired on CBeebies from 2002 to 2016. In 2000, the show won a British Academy Television Award for Best Pre-school Live Action Series, and singles featuring exclusive songs spent several weeks in the charts during the early 2000s. Tweenies also released music in the early 2000s and achieved five top 20 singles on the UK singles chart. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
