Main characters

  • Humf is a purple furry thing and the friend of Wallace and Loon. He resides in the middle flat of a multi-level home, with Wallace above him and Loon below him. Humf is known for his curiosity about the world around him and his desire to try new things, although he sometimes struggles to accomplish his goals.

  • Loon is a pink feathery thing who lives in the flat below Humf and loves to go to the park and supermarket, most of the time with her best friend Bewla, and friends Humf and Wallace, along with her mum. She is the only one of the trio whose dad is never seen or mentioned.

  • Wallace is a green hairy thing who runs around and lives on the very top floor of the three-story building.

  • Humf's parents are blue and red. His mum is blue, and his dad is red.

  • Uncle Hairy is Humf's uncle and likes to play with his friends.

  • Loon's Mum her mum is pink purple.

  • Wallace's parents; his mum is green, and his dad is blue.

  • Flora is Uncle Hairy's girlfriend and Humf's auntie.

  • Bewla is Loon's best friend and Humf's other best friend. She is a blue fluffy thing with red hair and pointy ears. Like Loon, her dad is never seen or mentioned.

  • Bewla's Mum is a brown maned red fluffy thing.

Locations

Most episodes of the series are set within the main characters' flats. The characters often visit a nearby park, which is within walking distance and requires crossing a street. This park includes playground equipment, a sandbox, and open spaces for recreational activities. They also frequent a local supermarket, accessible via a footpath.

In the episode "Humf Goes Swimming", Humf and Loon's mothers take them to a swimming pool, which features a children's pool, a small slide, and changing facilities. Another episode, "Uncle Hairy's Cinema", depicts Uncle Hairy and his partner Flora accompanying Humf, Loon, and Wallace to a cinema, which they reach by bus, as it is too far to walk.

Typical plot

The narrative typically follows Humf in his explorations and learning experiences. An illustrative episode involves Humf and his friends visiting the park, where they encounter litter. They discuss the issue and start collecting the trash enthusiastically. However, when Humf reaches for a banana peel, his mother cautions him against picking up certain items for safety reasons, as some litter may be unsanitary.

Other details

The series is aimed at pre-school children and was created by Andrew Brenner, directed by Neil Fitzgibbon, and produced by Alexi Wheeler.
