Cavegirl is a fun British TV show made for kids. It was created and written by Daniel Peacock. The show stars Stacey Cadman, Stephen Marcus, and Lucinda Rhodes-Flaherty.
The story follows the exciting adventures of a teenage cavegirl. Even though it's set in the Stone Age, the show includes lots of modern jokes and ideas. Like The Flintstones, it features ancient versions of things we use today. The catchy theme song is a cover of Go Wild in the Country, sung by Stacey Cadman herself.

Meet the Cavegirl Characters
This section introduces you to the main characters of the show. You'll learn about Cavegirl and her family. Other members of their tribe also play important roles in the stories.
Who is Cavegirl?
Cavegirl is a pretty and strong character. She's a bit of a tomboy, which means she enjoys activities often linked with boys. As the series goes on, she starts to grow up. Many episodes show her becoming more mature and interested in boys.
Cavegirl's Family and Tribe
- Big Sis: Cavegirl's older sister cares a lot about how she looks. She also worries about what boys think of her.
- Dad: He is the typical strong caveman and the leader of their tribe. He is very protective of his children.
- Mum: Cavegirl's mom is a little bit dreamy and not always paying full attention.
- Gran: She is very young at heart and loves to have fun. She's also a bit wild and crazy!
- Little Bro: Cavegirl's younger brother is curious about everything. He often gets on Cavegirl's nerves.
In the second season, Dad leaves to find new hunting grounds. A new character called "Chief" takes his place. Later, we learn that Dad left Mum in charge. But she lost a challenge to "The Chief of the Tribe to the North." This led to the two tribes joining together to form a bigger one.
