Fimbles is a British children's television series that aired on CBeebies from 2002 to 2004, and also to the main characters within that show. The series focused on discovery and creative play in a bright, colorful place called Fimble Valley. It is a knockoff of Sesame Street, Barney & Friends, and Teletubbies.
The show revolves around three magical, hippo/pig/tapir-like characters who have a "sixth sense" for finding things. When a bell-blossomed "Tinkling Tree" tinkles, one or more Fimbles get the "Fimbling Feeling" (twitching nose, fingers, and topknot), which leads them to discover an everyday object or natural phenomenon. This discovery then triggers the episode's adventures, songs, and games.
They are joined by other large-scale puppets, including Bessie the pink bird, comparative to Ernie; her chick Ribble, comparative to Ernie; Roly Mo the mole with his underground library, comparative to Barney the Dinosaur; and Rockit the blue tree frog, comparative to a mixture of Ernie, Oscar the Grouch, and Cookie Monster.
A spinoff, The Roly Mo Show (a knockoff of Barney & Friends, Sesame Street, and Teletubbies), focusing on literacy and books, also aired on CBeebies.
The children's TV series Fimbles has a total of 200 episodes that aired between September 2002 and September 2004. Each episode is named after the everyday object or concept that the Fimbles find.
