Today’s Peppa features a wonderful farce as Grandpa Pig drops an anchor on his foot and needs to have a stay in hospital - It’s another two part episode, and they are some of Phil Hall’s finest scripts! We were so lucky to get David Graham to record this from his home before his passing, and he delivers the humour perfectly. By making a new episode set at the hospital, it gave Shelley Revill and her art team a chance to update the hospital designs, which proved invaluable when we all committed to the new arrival in the Pig Family - we already had a very exciting-looking expanded hospital design to stage everything at. Stream the episode on Five @channel5_tv now, and watch out for part two at 7:40am on @milkshake_tv tomorrow!

Today is the big day for George, as he gets his hearing aid, as new Karrot episodes of Peppa Pig begin on Milkshake! Tune into ‘Hearing Test’ at 7:40am or watch afterwards on 5’s streaming service! The Audiologist is played by @jodieounsley and we were delighted when she said yes to being in the show - she did a wonderful job of guiding George through a big day for him, and working with the National Deaf Children’s Society @ndcs_uk and Camilla Arnold to ensure we got the story right was a big honour. We conceived the storyline at Karrot with Tim O’Sullivan writing and pitching the story, directed beautifully by Andrea Tran! We hope you enjoy this special story and all the new episodes on @milkshake_tv every weekday!
