Five Minutes More is a children's television program jointly produced by Australia and the United Kingdom. Created through a collaboration between Snow River Media and Buster Dandy Productions, with development support from The Jim Henson Company, it debuted on ABC on 23 August 2006. In the United States, the series was broadcast on V-me.
Synopsis
The narrative centers around five puppet animal characters—Faraway the aardvark, Georgie the penguin, Florrie the dog, Sam the monkey, and Louisa the polar bear—each delivering tales that convey ethical teachings.
Production
Initially crafted by Playhouse Disney Asia, the puppets were constructed by Solution Studios. The sets consist of cardboard materials, complemented by quilted fabric costumes that correspond with specially designed quilts illustrating story elements. Filming was conducted over an eight-week period in Australia, followed by post-production voice dubbing in the United Kingdom.
