Tikkabilla

Average user rating

The word 'Tikkabilla' is derived from the name of a game played in parts of India which is similar to hopscotch and the programme takes a hopscotch approach to its format, hopping on stepping stones from story to song to visiting a real place. There are six presenters and each episode is presented by two of them.

Tamba, the puppet, is in every episode, joining in with the fun. Tamba plays the surrogate child asking those tricky and naive questions. The style of the programme is inclusive and interactive, directly addressing the viewing child, making links with their own experience and encouraging them to join in wherever possible.
