Gigglebiz is a children's television programme made in the UK. There have been two series, first broadcast on CBeebies, the BBC's younger children's channel, in 2009 and 2011. The programme's star and creator is Justin Fletcher, who plays the chief characters in all the comic sketches. Some sketches are filmed in the studio; one regular external location is Portmeirion, used for the town of Wiggyville where the Captain Adorable sketches are set. The sketches are interspersed with 'Giggle Box' - film segments of children viewers telling Justin jokes. The first series was broadcast in September 2009 and comprised 25 15-minute episodes. The second series of 15 episodes was shown in January 2011. The new series saw some characters disappear to make way for new ones.
Today's opening show features DIY Dan, TV's worst do-it-yourself practitioner, who tries to get to grips with putting up curtains; the Berito Brothers, a troupe of acrobats who've seen better days and who demonstrate their original take on the old "firing from a cannon" routine; and irrepressible and inquisitive Humphrey, who launches himself into a game of crazy golf with his trusty companion Woody the dog.
Viewers get to meet Ann Teak, a bossy antiques "expert" who thinks she knows everything about an old suit of armour; the Berito Brothers, who launch yet another ill-thought-out routine; and Packed Lunch Pete, who never quite manages to eat his packed lunch. Meanwhile, as Humphrey goes off on a camping jaunt with Woody, Gail Force deals with some fleas and Rapids Johnson is still tailing that panda.
Today's show stars Anna Conda, a reptile expert with an unusual look; The Lost Pirate, an out-of-place and out-of-luck pirate desperate to find his treasure, no matter where he is; DIY Dan, the ever-cheerful but incompetent handyman who tackles problem doors with predictable results; and Chip Monk, the pet shop assistant who is reluctant to sell his friends - the pets. Weather girl extraordinaire Gail Force and Humphrey are off on a visit to a children's farm.
