Balamory

Me Too! is a British live action educational television programme for preschool children based on Balamory broadcast on BBC Two and CBeebies created by Brian Jameson from September 2006 to March 2008 and is set in the fictional city of Riverseafingal in Scotland, though in reality the programme was filmed in North Berwick, Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, Newcastle upon Tyne and Manchester. The round school in the programme is a real school situated in Gourock, called Gourock Primary School.

Contents

Me Too! was produced by Glasgow based production company Tattiemoon. One of the directors is Andrew Agnew, who played PC Plum from Balamory which had the same similarities in concept as Me Too!.

The series

The series follows six parents and their children, including Rebecca, Jack, Kai and Lisa, and a dog called Sampson who are apart during the day as the children go to Granny Murray's house and the parents go to work. At various points in the programme, the parent will think of their child and a 'think puff' travels across the city to Granny Murray's house, then the child will think of their parent and the 'think puff' will travel back to the parents' work.

The programme then alternates between what the parents are doing at work and what the children are doing with Granny Murray. One of the aims behind the series is to reassure children of working parents who go to childminders that their parents are always thinking of them. In addition, children get a view into an adult's working day.

Each episode's plot hinges on a problem that develops at work and the main character's "race against time" to sort it out. Granny Murray always provides a kernel of wisdom during the programme's opening that helps the problem be solved. The programme features much usage of clocks and time, and hence also aims to teach young children to tell the time.
