[3] Maddy Darrall was quoted by the Metro as gaining inspiration for the show from watching her 7-year-old nephew understanding her 1-year-old son.

[4] The series is animated by Jam Media in Dublin, and the lead writer is Dave Ingham (Charlie and Lola, Koala Brothers).

The show features a child narrator and all ten children are depicted in real life, although Baby Jake is given a multi-angle photographic face on an animated body.

Isaac was voiced by a real life 5-year-old boy, in a move described by the Guardian as “a risk” since the majority of successful children's television narrated by adults.

Isaac (portrayed by Franco Bertacchi Morroni and voiced by Kaizer Akhtar) is Baby Jake's older brother who narrates magic adventure stories.

Captain Spacey and the Hamsternauts are hamsters dressed up as astronauts that live in outer space and are one of Baby Jake's magical friends.

[5]Series one of Baby Jake ran in the UK each weekday from July to August 2011 and consisted of 26 episodes in total.
