Main characters

  • Humf is a purple furry creature and the friend of Wallace and Loon. He resides in the middle flat of a multi-level home, with Wallace above him and Loon below him. Humf is known for his curiosity about the world around him and his desire to try new things, although he sometimes struggles to accomplish his goals.
  • Loon is a pink feathery creature who lives in the flat below Humf and loves to go out to the park and the supermarket, most of the time with her friends Humf and Wallace, along with her mum. Her best friend is Bewla. She is the only one of the trio whose dad is never seen or mentioned.
  • Wallace is a green hairy creature who runs around and lives on the very top floor of the three-story building.
  • Humf's parents are blue and red furry creatures with green horns.
  • Uncle Hairy is Humf's uncle and likes to play with his friends. His girlfriend is Flora.
  • Loon's Mum is a pink feathery creature who lives with Loon in the flat below Humf.
  • Wallace's parents; his mum is a green hairy creature, and his dad is a blue hairy creature.
  • Flora is Uncle Hairy's girlfriend and Humf's auntie.
  • Bewla is Loon's best friend and Humf's other best friend. She is a blue fluffy creature with red hair and pointy ears. Like Loon, her dad is never seen or mentioned.
  • Bewla's Mum is a red, fluffy creature with brown hair.

Places

Most episodes of the show take place in the main characters' flats. Frequently, the characters spend time in a local park, which is a short walk away from their flats and requires crossing a road. The park features play equipment, a sandpit, and open green spaces for running around. Occasionally, the characters visit the nearby supermarket, which can be reached by walking along a pathway.

In the episode "Humf Goes Swimming," Humf and Loon's moms take them to the Swimming Pool, which includes a pool, a small slide, and changing rooms.[3] In the episode "Uncle Hairy's Cinema," Uncle Hairy and his girlfriend Flora take Humf, Loon, and Wallace to the cinema. They travel there by bus since it was mentioned in the episode that walking would be too far.

Typical plot

In general, the plots of the show revolve around Humf and his adventures in exploring the world. One example is when Humf and his friends go to the park and notice litter on the ground. They have a discussion about it and then begin picking it up and putting it in the bin with growing enthusiasm. However, Humf's mom intervenes when he tries to pick up a banana skin and explains that, for safety reasons, they shouldn't attempt to pick up all the litter because some of it can be yucky.

Other details

The series is aimed at pre-school children and was created by Andrew Brenner, directed by Neil Fitzgibbon, and produced by Alexi Wheeler.[2]
