Olobob Top is a British children's television series that originally aired on CBeebies in UK, S4C in Wales, and ABC Kids/ABC4 Kids/ABC for Kids in Australia.[3] The programme is narrated by Stephen Mangan.

Plot

The series follows a group of young creative creatures called the Olobobs. Tib, Lalloo and Bobble live in a big forest and have fun playing, exploring and solving everyday problems. In each episode, with the help of Olobob Top, they work together combining shapes, colours and patterns to create a new character, who joins in with the Olobobs’ fun, while a friendly narrator encourages them to think for themselves, who suggests in each episode that it “looks like a trip to the...Olobob Top!”.
