The programme is set on a farm and follows the adventures of four young animals: Petal the piglet, Gobo the goat, Dash the donkey and Digger the puppy, who are called the farmyard bunch.
[3] The storylines are told from the young animals' point of view and revolve around their emotions and the situations they find themselves in.
[4] Before the show airs, the CBeebies presenter may encourage the young viewers to sing along with the theme song, which is generally sung very fast and provides some basic information about each of the main characters.
The visual effects were created by Ian Carley, at iCarley Media, and James Kearsley, at JK Studios, using 450 individual shots of talking animals.
The set was created around a flint stable block and a barn which were not part of a real working farm.
