History Series / Tweenies

* '''[[TheChick Fizz]]''' - the GirlyGirl to Bella's {{tomboy}}, taking an active interest in ''anything'' related to femininity, including the colour [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]]. Her introverted and shy nature provided a contrast to her three loud and outgoing friends, and she was often seen playing by herself or reading a book. It was hinted throughout the series that she had a [[PuppyLove crush]] on Milo.

** Milo and Bella made racing cars out of the foam shapes to the tune of The Chain by FleetwoodMac, long used as the theme tune for FormulaOne on television.

The show revolved around the adventures of four young children in a daycare centre, with their two adult guardians and two dogs (who were in care of the centre). It enjoyed phenomenal success both inside and outside the UK, spawning no less than ''five'' top-twenty hits from spinoff records and [[CashCowFranchise merchandising that sold by the bucketload]]. In the U.S., it aired for a while on Noggin, before it became Creator/NickJr The series proper ended in 2003, but home video sales, {{rerun}}s and large-scale live tours helped sustain the series' popularity for the remainder of the TurnOfTheMillennium.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Jake is voiced by beloved children's entertainer Justin Fletcher -- or Mr. Tumble as you would probably know him.

''Tweenies'' is a British children's [[PuppetShows animatronic puppet series]] which debuted in 1998. Like other children's shows in rotation, it aimed to entertain as well as educate children about various life and social skills using songs, stories and the like. However, unlike some of its [[{{Teletubbies}} contemporaries]], the characters spoke in a discernable language and often directly interacted with the "outside world".

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: When the Tweenies went outside, the general British public seemed to be unphased by coloured foam-rubber people doing completely ordinary things.

* TooSoon: The BBC were forced to apologise after a recent rerun of a ''Tweenies'' episode, originally aired in 2001, received controversy as it was the episode where Max was dressed as Jimmy Savile. This was of course after the sex abuse scandal.

* CulturalTranslation: When the show was redubbed in America, it removed all references to its British environment and inserted Americanisms instead. Since the show was dubbed into many different languages, this most likely happened with their dubs as well, but the American edition is most {{egregious}} due to treating their audience like [[ViewersAreGoldfish goldfish]].

* HeyItsThatVoice: Jake is voiced by beloved children's entertainer Justin Fletcher -- or Mr. Tumble as you know him.

* '''Bella''' - at five years old, she was the oldest in the group, and therefore the one with the biggest sense of entitlement. Bossy and argumentative, she was the series' main source of conflict, though Milo seemed to be her main sparring partner. There were numerous episodes where she learnt a valuable lesson by the end, but this of course [[StatusQuoIsGod was forgotten by the next episode]].
* '''Milo''' - despite his purple skin, it was made clear that he was meant to be the [[TokenMinority token black kid]] in the group. He was also the daycare's resident "jokester", often making puns and playing tricks on his friends.
* '''Fizz''' - the GirlyGirl to Bella's {{tomboy}}, taking an active interest in ''anything'' related to femininity, including the colour [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]]. Her introverted and shy nature provided a contrast to her three loud and outgoing friends, and she was often seen playing by herself or reading a book. It was hinted throughout the series that she had a [[PuppyLove crush]] on Milo.
* '''Jake''' - at two-and-a-half years old, he was the youngest in the group, and therefore needed one of the other three to explain to him what they were doing. He had a superhero alter-ego which he used to explore his fantasies, and expressed a strong interest in "masculine" things such as motor cars and football. However, he had a tendency to cry a lot, leading to the others having to comfort him every so often.

* '''Doodles''' - the centre's resident dog. He had a positive relationship with everyone in the centre, but Jake was especially attached to him.
* '''Izzles''' - the centre's other dog, who was Doodles' DistaffCounterpart. She was introduced [[FinalSeasonCasting towards the end of the show's run]].

* AesopAmnesia: Usually concerning the main cast.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: The gang did this on occasion by [[ThemeTuneRollCall introducing themselves to camera]].
