Lockie Leonard was produced by Goalpost Pictures Australia and is distributed by the Australian Children's Television Foundation.
The first TV series was adapted from the Lockie Leonard books, written by multi-award-winning West Australian author, Tim Winton.
Lockie Leonard is a surf rat who moves with his family to Angelus, a small coastal town in Western Australia.
Lockie has to deal with starting high school in a new town with no friends and a house that is in danger of sinking into a swamp.
Vicki leaves to go to boarding school, and Lockie makes friends with new girl Mel, to whom he is initially assigned "buddy duty".
Lockie's brother Phillip enters Angelus High a year early owing to his impressive intelligence, and discovers a new friend or two along the way.
In the United Kingdom, it began airing Monday 2 August 2010 and continued daily (except on Fridays) on the CBBC channel at 11:30am.
