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. She 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 will spend time in one or another of the main characters' flats. Often, characters will spend some time in a local park, which is within walking distance of the flats and involves crossing a road to get there. The park has play equipment, as well as a sandpit and green open spaces to run around in. Sometimes, characters will travel to the local supermarket, which involves walking along the pathway to get there. In the episode Humf Goes Swimming, Humf and Loons Mums take Humf and Loon to the Swimming Pool, which has a pool, a little slide, and changing rooms. In the episode Uncle Hairy's Cinema, Uncle Hairy and his girlfriend Flora take Humf, Loon and Wallace to the cinema. It involves travel by a bus to get there, as it was said in the episode that it is too far to walk there.


Typical plot

In general, plots are centered on Humf and his exploration of the world. One example is when Humf and his friends go to the park and see litter on the ground. They discuss it and then start to pick it up and put it in the bin with increasing vigour. Humf's mum interrupts when he goes to pick up a banana skin and explains that, to be safe, they should not attempt to pick up all litter, as some is 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.
