"Five in the air!

The party's on at your place,
Five to the front!
There's a smile on my face..."

Yes, I'm a fan too!

'Fireman Sam' is based in Wales in a fictional town called Pontypandy (a mixture of two, real life towns - Pontypridd and Tonypandy).

Good job Fireman Sam, "the hero next door" is close by to save the day!

8. What type of animal is Pingu?

Answer: Penguin

Pingu and his friends speak a strange language called 'Penguinese' but they are quite easy to understand once you have watched it a couple of times! Pingu also makes funny noises which mean different things; "Nug-Nug" when upset or angry, "Hoo-Hoo" when happy or excited and "Meck-Meck" when he's being a little bit naughty!

9. What is the name of the funny train in 'The Night Garden'?

Answer: The Ninky Nonk

Answer: Gardens

"In Fluffy Gardens, something unexpected happens every day!" Characters in this show include Paulo the Cat, George the Mean Yellow Dog and Small Green Thing. Our favourite is Lola the Mosquito because she is so silly!
