CBeebies revives classic Balamory

Fans rejoice as Balamory returns to our screens

Miss Hoolie and her friends are back for a new generation of viewers

CBeebies has announced that it is reviving the classic children's show Balamory. The show, which originally aired from 2002 to 2005, will return with a brand new series in 2023.

Balamory was a huge hit with young viewers, and it helped to launch the careers of some of the UK's most popular children's presenters, including Josie Jump, Romesh Ranganathan, and James McAvoy. The show followed the adventures of Miss Hoolie, a kind-hearted nursery teacher, and her friends as they explored the fictional Scottish village of Balamory.

The new series of Balamory will feature a new cast of characters, but it will retain the same heartwarming and educational values as the original show. The show will focus on the importance of community, friendship, and learning.

CBeebies controller Patricia Hidalgo said: "Balamory is a much-loved show that has entertained and educated generations of children. We are delighted to be bringing it back to our screens for a new generation of viewers. The new series will be full of fun, laughter, and learning, and we can't wait to see what Miss Hoolie and her friends get up to next."

Balamory is just one of a number of classic children's shows that CBeebies has revived in recent years. Other shows that have been brought back include Teletubbies, In the Night Garden, and Tweenies.

The revival of Balamory is sure to be welcomed by fans of the original show. It is a testament to the enduring popularity of the show that it is still being enjoyed by children today.
