Justin's House Mister Maker Comes to Town |
Mister Maker is a British children's television series produced by RDF Media (Series 1)/The Foundation (Series 2-3) for CBeebies.[1] The series aired from 17 September 2007 until 25 December 2009.
The series was presented by Phil Gallagher in the title role. The series was followed by four spin-offs: Mister Maker Comes to Town, Mister Maker Around the World, Mister Maker's Arty Party (also on BBC iPlayer for over a year) and Mister Maker at Home, which began airing in 2010, 2013, 2015 and 2020, respectively.
Mister Maker, created and portrayed by Phil Gallagher, presents the show (he also created the series). Each episode features seven different sequences:
At the end of each episode, Tocky pops out and reminds Mister Maker that it's time to go. Mister Maker says "My making time's over, but yours is just beginning!", and after that, he says "It's time to put all this stuff back in it's box!", and the set quickly changes back into small objects in the progress.
Mister Maker was commissioned by Michael Carrington at the BBC for CBeebies.[2] The series launched in 2007[3] and also aired on BBC One and BBC Two, It still currently airs on CBeebies, usually during weekdays. In Latin America the series was broadcast on the Discovery Kids and Discovery Familia networks, dubbed in Spanish and in Portuguese in Brazil.[4] In Canada, the series aired on Treehouse TV from 2008 to 2012 and TVOKids from 2013 to 2021. The Foundation (part of RDF Media) commissioned the series for three seasons.[3][5] It also airs in Australia on ABC2. The series comprises a mixture of animation, CGI and live-action.
