Dodge’s Pup School airs 5.15 (TOMORROW) on CBeebies and is on every week day for the entire run of the series! It will also be available on BBC iPlayer! I’m so immensely proud of this show, so much love and attention has been put in to making this the best possible series!

Work took me here earlier this week. I sat at this bench to eat my lunch enjoying the peace and tranquility with a feeling of familiarity. When i finished my lunch it dawned on me “i know this place!” If you know, you know! @rickygervais @gillinghamjoe @chatabix1 #afterlife

Three cheers for the birthday boy! 🥳 Can you believe it's been 76 years since Sooty was first discovered on Blackpool's North Pier by his Uncle Harry? Happy birthday, Sooty!

Fun times performing with @djwilliamsact & @WarrickBP on @andyoddsock I made these blank “whatnot” style puppets several years ago now. They were re-dressed by Warrick for this. So nice they are still being used.

It was a real treat to get to “lend a hand” to Little Cousin Scampi (amongst others) and the gang for this project. Check out the video below. Its all for a good cause so if you are able, please consider buying the single to donate to Great Ormond Street Hospital..
Scampi's popped back from school to say that you should watch the video for Sooty's brand new song: I'm in the Mood for Christmas! Watch the video here >> tinyurl.com/moodforchristmas… Donate to @GOSHCharity >> gosh.org/christmas Buy the song >> tinyurl.com/moodforchristmas
