Olobob Top

The story

Olobob Top is a British children's television series created by Leigh Hodgkinson and Steve Smith. The programme is narrated by Stephen Mangan.

Plot

The series follows a group of 3 animals called the Olobobs. Tib, Lalloo and Bobble live in a big forest and have fun playing, exploring and solving everyday problems. In each episode, with the help of Olobob Top,
they work together combining shapes, colours and patterns to create a new character, who joins in with the Olobobs’ fun, while a friendly narrator encourages them to think for themselves, who suggests in each episode that it “looks like a trip to the...Olobob Top!”.
