About The Series
In total Four series were created lasting of 37 x 10 min episodes. The aim of the show was to meet the deadline set by 'Mr Editor' and create front page news. The Singing Kettle had to find lead stories for 'kettle News' by singing songs and telling stories. Each episode contained Two songs, from series Two onwards, the series was performed in front of an audience of children. In series One, the famous rhyme was used at the end shortly before the closing credits in each episode, to retrieve the newspapers that had been put together that episode. In series Two, the opening theme was shortened and the rhyme was re-introduced, panning across the audience.
From Series Three the series title was shortened to just The Singing Kettle, with new music and theme to the show.
In 2016, the series produced for Scottish Television began airing on STV Glasgow and STV Edinburgh as part of their 'Wean's World' children's programming strand.
