Show Summary
Featuring real working animals on a real working farm, each episode follows the trials and tribulations of four best friends – Petal the piglet, Gobo the goat, Dash the donkey and Digger the puppy – and other animals that live on the farm. The animals will often have to work together to solve a problem and the stories centre on playing, learning and mischief. The shows use a mix of live action and animation (to enable the animals to speak) which gives children a magical insight into the secret life of the animals.
Main Characters
Petal
– A little female piglet who is the leader of the four animals. She is very daring but
always plans before she does anything. Catchphrase: Piglet Power! Pigs Rock!
Gobo
– A baby goat who is very clever and very bouncy. He prefers to do first and think later, is full of ideas and has a rather dodgy digestive system. Catchphrase: Go Go Gobo.
Dash
– A miniature donkey who is the most cautious of the four and always thinks about the consequences of their adventures. He is very kind and quite stubborn. Catchphrase: Calm down!
Digger
– An over-excited puppy who is very cute but not very bright. He has a habit of chasing his tail and getting overwhelmed but humans love him. Catchphrase: I can do that! I can do that!
