The Shiny Show was a British educational children's television programme, broadcast by CBeebies, BBC One and BBC Two, that was produced by Open Mind Productions. It was first screened in 2002 and was aimed at children between the ages of two and seven. Each show featured a quiz with six questions, based around different subjects, and featured four star characters: Tigs the Tiger, Mukka the Monkey, Dogsby the Dog and Alarmorama the machine.[3]

Characters

Tigs

Tigs is an orange tiger, who is often portrayed as confident and big headed. She is extremely lively and always gets the starring role in the short plays or poems the group act out in between rounds. She has a lucky object called Mr Cheese, a plastic lump of cheese that squeaks whenever it is squeezed. Voiced by Sue Monroe.

Mukka

Mukka is an extremely hyperactive purple monkey. He has a lucky object called Fluffy Stuff and a pet lump called Lumpy. Voiced by Wim Booth, Gary Martin in Restored Episodes On DVD And VHS

Dogsby

Dogsby is a brown dog, the most sensible member of the group, and usually stays calm in most circumstances. Dogsby's lucky object is a purple and yellow hat named Lucky Hat, which Dogsby never wears because if she wears it she 'might get too lucky!'. Dogsby is also not very good at getting colours right. Voiced by Sally Preisig (series 1), Sam Mason (series 2) and Liz Fost (one-off Christmas CBeebies appearance).

Alarmorama

Alarmorama, (often mentioned by Dogsby, Mukka and Tigs,) is a machine situated on one of the walls in the living room. Although Alarmorama doesn't speak, it communicates using hilarious noises. Alarmorama does many actions, including:

  • Playing the theme song.
  • Starting the show.
  • Choosing the quizzer - the person who will ask all the questions for a particular episode of the show.
  • Playing the quizzer's song.
  • Starting rounds.
  • Giving shinies and the Super Shiny to the viewer(s).
  • Ending the show.

NOTE: In some series one episodes, when Mukka the monkey and Tigs the tiger are being either noisy or crazy and the Alarmorama starts the next round standing in line, Dogsby the dog says "Thank you, Alarmorama." or sometimes "Saved by the Alarmorama." generally in a relieved voice.

Overview

There are three rounds in the quiz, each with a short film in which the three animal contestants watch before answering the two questions. The aim of the game is to answer as many questions correctly as possible, and beat the other player(s). For every question you get correct you can "give yourself a shiny". The person who answers the most questions correctly wins the Shiny Show and the Super Shiny.

In between the three rounds, the three animal characters, Dogsby the dog, Tigs the tiger and Mukka the monkey, act out a story or drama play loosely based around the theme of the films the quiz is based on. Some of the dialogue in these sequences carries on at two levels, which makes The Shiny Show one of CBeebies' more entertaining shows for parents.
