Emu
Weekdays at 3pm (starting Wed 1 Sept)
See how all the anarchy and mischief began in a brand new
live-action comedy series that is set to thrill a new generation of
children.
This is essentially 'Emu the early years' with a flapping fresh,
young and brilliant blue Emu taking centre stage.
Join everyone's favourite feathered friend, on his adventures!
Close calls with beady eyed security guards and scheming,
money-grabbing neighbours, Emu stays unflappable with sidekick and
best friend Toby, who will be taking the place of the
unforgettable, Rod Hull.
Nobody's head was in the sand when Emu hit the screens in the 70s,
the heady days of entertaining primetime audiences of over 11
million.
But we are here, 30 years on and Emu is ready to return to the
spotlight alongside Toby, the son of the late and great Rod Hull.
Toby, a trained actor, has already appeared with Emu in two high
profile pantomimes.
Aimed at 6-11 year olds the series is telling the story of the
strangest flat share in history!
Toby and Emu have moved into a new flat. But with a 'no pets
allowed' policy in the building, Emu and Toby, along with best
friend neighbours, Charlie and Dani, must all work together and
trick the evictors!
However, Ken Cole the suspicious security man is always lurking!
With a stern eye and his trusty note pad of rules and regulations,
Ken not only knows the score, he lives it!
Emu must also keep his wits about him for a second reason. Sneaky
Sophie lives next door to our flightless hero. She is obsessed with
Emu and is forever thinking up ways to turn her feathered neighbour
into crisp, folding cash for herself!
With loads of slapstick laughs and crazy comedy potential, Emu is
the perfect mix of anarchy, pecking, nostalgia ... and a little
more pecking!
