Fun Song Factory CITV aimed at youngsters. It was one of the first songs-based shows to be filmed in front of a live audience of children (following on from BBC Scotland/Scottish Television's The Singing Kettle ) and is similar to Australian shows such as 'The Wiggles' and 'Hi-5'.
It was originally created in 1994 by Will Brenton and Iain Lauchlan, part of the Playdays The Tweenies , Boo! , BB3B Jim Jam and Sunny .
The first production was a sell through video filmed at the Polka Theatre in Wimbledon, presented by Iain Lauchlan, Sarah Davison and Dave Benson Phillips . The video was a great success, and led to a second being filmed at Chicken Shed in North London, this time presented by Iain, Dave and Michelle Durler.
All in all seven videos were shot, selling 750,000 copies in the UK before the series was commissioned by GMTV in 1998. The TV show was originally presented by Justin Fletcher, Katy Stephens , Karl Woolley, Alex Lovell and Dave Benson Phillips alongside a costumed character named Rozzie. This show was nominated for a BAFTA in 1998.
in 2004 CITV commissioned an updated version of the show featuring an all new cast. The cast members in this version all had acting names rather than using their real names. The cast for This new version was Aston Merrygold of JLS as Cookie, Laura Hamilton as Melody, Chris Till as OJ, Kerry Newell as Cal and Polly Parsons as Paige. They were joined by Ozzy from the previous series, and a puppet named Harry. The episodes were also shorter than in the 1998 version, as they lasted 10 minutes rather than 20.
