Kids show is OOglies of fun.

OOGLIES 911 MON-FRI, CBBC, 5.45pm

If you find yourself watching mischievous mushrooms, motorbiking eggs, dancing underpants and a daredevil tomato - don't panic.

You aren't having a hallucinatory experience, you have just entered the fast, furious and fun world of the OOglies.

The new CBBC show - created by BBC Scotland - is set in an ordinary household, where just about everything comes to life as soon as human backs are turned.

With more than 70 characters, the fastpaced sketch show zips through sketches as the cast of everyday foods and household objects communicate with an array of silly sounds.

It all sounds like simple fun but behind the scenes it was a major production with an industrial unit in Glasgow housed a production base for four months.

A dozen mini-studio pods of bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms were created, where the OOglies acted out the general mayhem courtesy of a team of some of the top animators in the UK.

Each of the 70 or so characters also needed up to 29 different expressions. At a conservative estimate, the design team customised more than 30,000 googly eyes.

Series producer Nick Hopkin says: "We hope the audience - whatever age they are - just enjoy OOglies and think it is fun. But our serious hope is OOglies, having brought such a creative team together, will be a spark for more animation in Scotland."
