[1][2] Created by Peter Curtis, it focuses on seven friendly, sentient bath toys as they tell stories in imaginary worlds outside of their bathroom – the ringleader in the series being a pink frog named Tubb.

[4][5] The series was originally announced under the working title "Plugg" (an early name for the character of Tubb).

[6] BBC started commissioning the show in 2002 after two lost pilots were made: "Plugg" from 1999 and "Splish Splash Splosh!"

[citation needed] Hasbro licensed Rubbadubbers for producing a toy line to promote the series.

[7] Seven anthropomorphic, friendly British bath toys called the Rubbadubbers live a peaceful life in the bathroom of a house somewhere in England.

The toys belong to two children who live at the house named Benjie and Sis (however, they are never seen or heard by viewers).

Some of the other Rubbadubbers appear in their dream world as well, where they play different versions of their regular selves in order to either assist or hinder the character that made the wish.
