64 Zoo Lane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
64 Zoo Lane is a children's television programme created by An Vrombaut. It features a girl called Lucy who lives next to a Zoo. Every night she is told a story by the animals present there. Characters include Georgina the Giraffe, Nelson the Elephant, Tickles and Giggles the monkeys and Molly the hippopotamus. The programme emphasises friendship and responsibility. After the story ends Lucy is normally asleep (certain episodes have her yawning then sleeping in bed, when she's asleep by the end of the normal episodes, she was lulled to sleep by the story), and Georgina puts her in bed.
Originally shown in the United Kingdom as part of the BBC's CBeebies lineup for children, it is now also shown in the United States on Noggin (however, since July, 2006 it is being shown intermittently at 6am or 7am Eastern/3am or 4am Pacific, something Noggin has done with its other UK import shows in the past while deciding whether to permanently keep them on the schedule or not, which may be a sign that the show will soon disappear from the channel). In the U.S. version, Lucy's voice is given an American makeover, but the voices of the animals and the theme song remain with British accents. The British version features the voice of Hollyoaks actress Ciara Janson as Lucy.

[edit] Trivia
- Sometimes in a cartoon called Krabbo And Fisho, this show is spoofed as the "Dramatic Preschool Video." It consists of a pink and brown crab and Bulbasaur-like animals that bounce. The episodes are similar to Squeaky Boots, and the characters always use bad words, and the human has google eyes on the knuckles, being a spoof of Oobi, and has a British accent. By the way, all the title cards look like a black background with white contemporary text.
