Hey Duggee
This report covers the full series (Seasons 1–5, 2014–present). Hey Duggee is a gentle, joyful British preschool show in which Duggee the dog leads a small group of young animal friends through badge-earning adventures, with warm humour layered in for grown-ups too.
A wonderful fit for children from around 18 months and up through age 5 or 6, with real co-viewing appeal for parents.

Episodes to know about
Naughty Monkey steals a barrel of fruit from Duggee; the episode ends with everyone sharing, modelling a positive resolution.
Many episodes contain gentle parodies of adult pop culture (film noir, Apocalypse Now, arthouse cinema styles) that sail completely over young children's heads but give parents something fun to spot.
