According to Pat Hutchins, each episode took three weeks to shoot as it was created in
stop-motion animation, using clay models instead of proposed cartoons. The models were miniatures, as ITV gave the animating team a limited budget so that production or scale was minimalistic. After the first two series finished airing in 1999, a third series went into production, and premiered during 2000, before it had its final episode in mid-2001. There is no disclosed reason why the programme finished but Hutchins reportedly said it became too costly and time-consuming to create. Due to its immense popularity repeats of the programme aired occasionally until around 2003 and then repeated on
Tiny Living. The programme moved to
Milkshake! on Channel 5 between 5 September 2004 and 15 January 2008 with updated titles credited to 2005. ==Music and DVD==
