Main characters

  • Humf is a purple furry thing and the monster mate of Wallace and Loon. He lives in the middle flat with Wallace at the top of him and Loon at the bottom of him.
  • Loon is a pink feathery thing 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. She is the only one of the three friends who doesn't have a dad.
  • Wallace is a green hairy thing who runs around a lot and lives on the very top floor of the 3-story building.

Places

The characters homes

Most episodes will spend some time in one or another of the main characters flats.

The park

Often, episodes 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.

Typical plot

In general, plots are centred on Humf and his exploration of the world. An example would be when Humf and his friends go to the park and see litter on the floor. 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.
