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 sand pit 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.^[3] 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 is too far to walk there.

Typical plot[]

In general, plots are centred 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 Fitzgibben, and produced by Alexi Wheeler.^[2]
