Doodle Do
Doodle Do is a British television programme designed for pre-school children. It is currently aired on the CBeebies channel. The programme features three "Doodle Doers" — puppets called "Dib-dab", "Scribble" and "Stick" — who interact with a human presenter, Chris (played by Chris Corcoran, a Welsh stand-up comedian
Dib-dab, Stick and Scribble are literal glove puppets as they consist of three knitted gloves decorated with eyes, nose and so on. They are operated by three puppeteers who remain concealed behind features of the studio set, such as curtains or boxes. One Episode was filmed in the French Ski Resort of 'Les Deux Alpes'
The programme is loosely a "how to" arts feature similar to SMarteenies but aimed at an even younger audience. Chris and the puppets explore making models from boxes, simple collages and so on. A story is featured, during which the puppets play characters, using the items they have created.
The programme always ends with some "Doodle do" and "Doodle don't" advice, such as "Doodle do: have fun with your model car, and doodle don't: forget to tidy up afterwards".
There are also small 5-minute portions of the show called "Doodle Do Making Moments" which are broadcast. These feature one 'make' and do not have much of a storyline.
