OOglies is a stop-motion animated children's television series produced by BBC Scotland for CBBC, and distributed worldwide by Classic Media. [1] The show involves short sketches that play for 30 seconds to a minute starring household items and food, virtually all of which have googly eyes stuck on, hence the show's title.
The show first aired on 10 August 2009, on both CBBC and BBC HD. The commission was for two series of 13 shows, each 15 minutes long. The shows were produced in a block over five months in Glasgow. Voices are provided by Tim Dann, Peter Dickson, and Shelley Longworth. The series was created and written by Nick Hopkin, Tim Dann, and Austin Low. The show returned in 2015 as OOglies Funsize.
There are groups of characters who appear with similar gags multiple times; sometimes, the characters meet each other. Episodes begin with a mock safety announcement voiced by Peter Dickson, telling viewers that all stunts "have been performed by trained OOglies". In OOglies Funsize, the message "It's time for OOglies!" is added on.
These are the list of all sketches on the 26 episodes of Ooglies, as well as the Funsize version in 2015. Season 1's opening gags featured The Playful Grapes And Melonhead, whereas Season 2 featured Boo Potato. The walnut outro appeared in both seasons.
