Mulligrubs was an Australian children's television series that aired on Network Ten from 3 October 1988 to 27 December 1996. The series was made by affiliate ADS in Adelaide and was aimed at pre-schoolers.[1]

About 550 episodes were made, with about 425 being stored intact at the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia.[1]

The show was best remembered for the face (made up of just eyes, eyebrows, nostrils and mouth) on a blue screen that appeared occasionally during the program. The actress who played the part of 'the face' was Diana Kidd (born circa. 1951–1952).[2][3]
