The show was presented by Bosco, a small, red-haired puppet, supposedly a five-year-old child with bright red cheeks and a really squeaky voice.

Freddy the Fox features a host of characters each with distinctive traits, such as Fiachra the Frog, Gregory Grainog and Sile Seilide.

There was also a cartoon featuring a rather strange potato family, The McSpuds, that live in a supermarket (Savers) owned by Mr McGinty.

[citation needed] The show featured arts and crafts segments which were called make and do, in the style of the BBC's children's programme Blue Peter.
