In the United Kingdom, its most recent run began in September 2011 on CBeebies.

The show is aimed at pre-school-aged children, which the company described as "a natural next step for Aardman".

[1] The show is made up of ten-minute episodes, which do not feature much dialogue, much like Shaun the Sheep, Wallace & Gromit and A Close Shave.

[8] In 2018, Aardman collaborated with the British Council to create "Learning Time with Timmy", a show to encourage children aged 2–6 around the world to learn the English language, along with a YouTube-exclusive series and three apps.

These versions feature narration from a selection of pre-school children, and are 5-minutes in length when compared to the original 10-minute episodes.
