Some episodes have an animated section featuring a cartoon called Uki about an eponymous little yellow character who conveys emotions through laughter and smiles.[1] hfkvfk fk fvdeyfnryxnebfcfcbtcbiclqgeeddeddejd d vdcexlwxssxfxsdgewwsej ur d udbcurfdchdudccdd d du du d u hd ud b dbfirhxexdqaxwxssxddz d ncjdxrcᾙ Other episodes feature Penelope the inquisitive blue koala as the animated section.[2]
Format
The show takes place on the top floor of a tower and each episode begins by climbing the ten-storey tower block lift where a child's voice counts from one to ten. On reaching ten we enter Chris and Pui's play room where a magical world of fun and games is explored.[3]
Each show centres on two items that form the title of the episode (for example "Granddads and Glasses"), each of which is introduced by a child requesting "Show me show me granddads". Chris and Pui then explore the items via videos, songs and activities, as well as a piece in which children talk about their experiences with that item.
Shows often feature one of the characΗΈters' songs, or a story read by one of the presenters about the exploits of the toys.
Most episodes contain a sequence of a shop. If Chris runs it, Pui comes as different nursery rhyme characters such as the Grand Old Duke of York, Little Bo Peep, Incy Wincy Spider, Little Miss Muffet, Old MacDonald, Granny Humpty and Twinkle the star. If Pui runs it, Chris enters as one of Humpty Dumpty, the Hey Diddle cow, Jack from "Jack and Jill", Pat the Baker, or Wee Willie Winkie.
The format of the show is similar to that of Play School – the BBC programme from the '60s and '80s.
