Justin's House Mister Maker Comes to Town |
Mister Maker is a British children's television series produced by RDF Media (Series 1)/The Foundation (Series 2-3) for CBeebies.[1] The series aired from September 17, 2007 until December 25, 2009.
The series was presented by Phil Gallagher in the title role. The series was followed by four spin-offs: Mister Maker Comes to Town, Mister Maker Around the World, Mister Maker's Arty Party (also on BBC iPlayer for over a year) and Mister Maker at Home, which began airing in 2010, 2013, 2015 and 2020, respectively.
Plot
Mister Maker, created and portrayed by Phil Gallagher, presents the show (he also created the series). Each episode features seven different sequences:
- Creative Idea - Mister Maker shows off a make involving several different arty materials particularly suitable for young children.
- The Shapes Dance (or "I Am a Shape") - The Shapes dance to their own song - "I Am a Shape" -, followed by one of them presenting a shape puzzle. At the end, the Shapes go to sleep.
- Make It in a Minute - Tocky the Bird (who, starting with season 2, is much less feathered) informs Mister Maker when this segment starts. When he does, Mister Maker makes a simple make in a minute, similar to the "1 Minute Finger Tips" segment (from fellow-Foundation production Finger Tips).
- The Colour Kids - Various children wearing different coloured clothes create a picture using different motions of their body.
- Frame-It! - A more relaxing segment put over a frame. This segment is narrated over by Mister Maker. This time, only the opening is seen, followed by the "Random Picture" segment below.
- Random Picture - A segment that has been seen after the "Frame-It!" opening. The segment is a video montage compiling only photos of either a messy picture or pictures made by objects (depending on each episode). Like the "Frame-It!" opening, this segment is narrated over by Mister Maker.
- Another Creative Idea - Mister Maker shows off another make in a very similar form to the first make.
Each episode ends with Tocky telling Mister Maker to go and then shows him "putting away all this stuff back in its box" (meaning the studio's objects are to be put away). At the end of each episode, Mister Maker says "Time to put away all of the stuff back in the box!", followed by the end credits.
Development and Broadcast
Mister Maker was commissioned by Michael Carrington at the BBC for CBeebies.[2] The series launched in 2007[3] and also aired on BBC One and BBC Two, It still currently airs on CBeebies, usually during weekdays. In the United States the series currently broadcasts on PBS Kids in all regions. In Latin America the series was broadcast on the Discovery Familia network, dubbed in Spanish and in Portuguese in Brazil.[4] In Canada, the series aired on Treehouse TV from 2008 to 2012 and TVOKids from 2013 to 2021. The Foundation (part of RDF Media) commissioned the series for three seasons.[3][5] It also airs in Australia on ABC2. The series comprises a mixture of animation, CGI and live-action.
