The Tweenies is a television programme aimed at children,
broadcast on the BBC. The programme is set at a daycare
centre, and the four Tweenies themselves are Milo and
Jake (both boys) and Bella and Fizz (both girls), played
by actors inside foam rubber suits in a style reminiscent
of the Teletubbies, only geared towards a slightly older
audience. The regular cast includes two adults, Max and
Judy, and two dogs, Doodles and (less frequently, and
in the later episodes) Izzles, all in similar suits. A
"Tweenie Clock", with five circular lights arranged
in a pentagonal shape with the lights denoting "news
time" (orange), "messy time" (red: art,
sticking, painting), "song time" (yellow: generally
nursery rhymes or childrens' classics), "telly time"
(green) and "story time" (blue). A button next
to the clock is pressed to select the activity that will
be undertaken next.
