Paul Whitehouse's New Silly Show for Kids
7 Nov
Summary
- New animated sketch show for children titled 'That's Jokes'.
- Show is described as 'proper silly entertainment' with no lessons.
- Each episode is 11 minutes, designed for young attention spans.
Comedian Paul Whitehouse is set to release a new animated sketch show for children titled 'That's Jokes' on CBBC and BBC iPlayer starting Monday.
Developed with his wife, early-years expert Dr. Mine Conkbayir, the show is described as "just proper silly entertainment" with no grand educational agenda. Whitehouse explained it as a product of an "out-of-the-box ADHD brain," offering surreal humor with an underlying warmth.
Dr. Conkbayir emphasized their goal was to provide fun and frivolous content, a "guilt-free giggle" to counter the isolation children experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic. Each episode will be 11 minutes long, suitable for young children's attention spans, with Whitehouse likening it to an animated, shorter 'Fast Show' for kids.
The show features various sketches, including a guinea pig soap opera called 'Hutch Street' and 'Crabs Can't Walk Forwards'. Other characters include 'Posh Pom', inspired by their Pomeranian, 'Guy Reader The Newsreader', and 'Felicity The Fly'. 'That's Jokes' airs on CBBC at 4:35 PM on Mondays.
