Tweenies is a British live-action puppet children's television series created by Will Brenton and Iain Lauchlan.

The programme was focused on four preschool-aged characters, known as the "Tweenies"; Bella, Milo, Fizz & Jake, whilst playing, singing, dancing and learning in a fictional playgroup based in England.

In 2000, the show won a British Academy Television Award for Best Pre-school Live Action Series, and singles featuring exclusive songs spent several weeks in the charts during the early 2000s.

The idea for the programme came from Will Brenton and Iain Lauchlan, a pair with a track record of being involved in BBC children's programming.

They also created Fun Song Factory, Boo!, BB3B, and Jim Jam and Sunny.

Music plays an important part in the programme and children are encouraged to join in with songs and actions.

The programme is set in a nursery in England attended by four puppet characters called The Tweenies: Jake, Fizz, Milo and Bella.

In addition, the tour also played several shows in Hong Kong in late September and early October 2009.

The costume fabric comes from the UK and was imported and dyed into their present colours; it is about the same thickness as fleece jumpers.

The episode aired three months after claims of sexual abuse committed by Savile came to light.

This American version also briefly aired on Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. block from 18 July to 25 September 2003.

In November 2000, the Tweenies appeared on a few episodes of the show Top of the Pops, performing their single No.

In December 2000, the Tweenies starred in their dedicated special of the series which featured more of their singles like Do The Lollipop and Have Fun Go Mad!.

It was the first Tweenies live tour to be solely produced by BBC Worldwide and the first to be shown in theatres instead of arenas.

[citation needed] From the show's debut in 1999 to 2007, a range of Tweenies storybooks were published, primarily based on aired episodes.

The player controls Milo, Jake, Fizz and Bella through a series of 4 scenarios inspired by the show, one for each character.
