The BBC's iconic children's programme Balamory returns to screens this month, with the brand-new series launching on CBeebies and iPlayer on Monday 20 April. The broadcaster has unveiled first-look images offering a vibrant glimpse of the island community, featuring familiar faces alongside new residents.
Warm, colourful and full of curiosity, the new series retains the heart and humour that made Balamory a household favourite. The lovable community of quirky characters celebrates each day with rainbow-coloured comic adventures filled with songs, friendship and fun.
Kate Morton, Senior Head of Commissioning for CBeebies, said: "Balamory holds a very special place in the hearts of families across the UK, so bringing it back after 21 years has been a real joy. It’s wonderful to welcome back beloved characters like Miss Hoolie, PC Plum and Penny Pocket, while also introducing a new generation of Balamory residents."
Returning characters include Miss Hoolie, who runs the nursery with warmth and enthusiasm; PC Plum, the friendly police officer with a knack for slapstick; and Penny, who runs the shop and café while juggling side hustles. New residents include Ava, the inventor following in her father Archie's footsteps; Dr Ollie, a vet with a love of storytelling; Edie, the delivery driver and boat captain; and the Harbourmaster, a magnet for comic mishaps.
