![]() Yeah, and that’s probably the third component to this: Someone like me, who’s used to making short films and has more of an interest, I guess, in adult comedy, was like, “All right, well, what would I do?” And then the other was just a craft thing, which is, we really tried to get it to look beautiful and to sound beautiful. You ended up writing it all yourself, no? And I just thought, “Look, that will just get you the show which I’ve already seen.” So, I just didn’t hire any writers. I think a lot of them are really creative people, but they’ve labored in an industry, and in a demographic, which just accepts the same homework turned in. ( Laughs.) The other was, and this is terrible, but it was just not to hire kids’ TV writers. Well, the first one is this sort of thing that always gets said, which is, “Kids’ shows need to be about kids having agency and power because they don’t have any in real life.” But it’s like, have you met my kids? That’s all they’ve got is agency and power. So, when it came time for me to do mine, it was quite easy to avoid all of the same pitfalls. And because I’d worked in the industry, I just saw why it ended up like that. You just realize how formulaic and similar it is. There were shows like that in older demographics, but they were a bit few and far between at the preschool stage, and I thought this is probably where you need it the most because you do end up watching a lot of it. I suppose this is pretty obvious, but a good co-viewing show where the parents could genuinely watch it with the kids.

In her dream, Bingo vows to be a big girl and floats back to her planet-egg shell alone. This is represented in Bingo’s dream as her sitting basking in the suns warmth and light, as the music swells and Mums voice reminds her that she’ll always be there, whether Bingo can see her or not, as she loves her.
