Albie is a British animated series about a five-year-old boy with a wild, distorted imagination.

Albie was created by award-winning children's author Andy Cutbill and was based on his own childhood.

Andy also helped develop Rupert Bear, Follow the Magic... for Channel 5.

The concept of Albie involves a small boy who keeps encountering exotic animals in his garden whose sole purpose seem to be to get him into trouble.

This includes a herd of Welsh water buffalo on a mission to nick the bath from Albie's house, Geordie elephants obsessed with buns and a couple of Sahara-missing cockney camels living in the sand-pit.
