Oakie Doke was a children's television programme that was broadcast from September 1995 until December 1996 on the BBC. It was produced by Cosgrove Hall Productions and was shown in stop motion animation. The show ran for two series, each containing 14 episodes.
A tailless mouse named Hickory is looking for a home. After rescuing Snoot's tail from a tree root, Hickory is adopted by the Corncracker Family.
Doke helps Rufus to find his missing nut stash and Rose to find Root using Manny's water detector. They find Root fast asleep in a hollow tree along with the nut stash Dave and Denzil stole.
Rose is not able to cook pizzas for the Oakie Hollows Hoedown due to her broken oven. Manny finds out that Snoot stuffed Grannie Annie's hat down the pipe. After Marcus, Root and Oakie have fixed the oven, Oakie and all the family come to the Oakie Hollows Hoedown with the pizzas.
Mrs Tickle has a cold this morning, which Lizzie is not pleased about, as it's her birthday today. To cheer up, Doke gets some help to make a cake for Lizzie's Birthday Party, but Mrs Tickle already has a surprise for Lizzie.
Moses gets the hiccups after drinking Granny Annie's unready lemonade. Doke's methods to cure it don't work, but the sight of Lizzie's statue of Doke does.
Granny Annie accidentally loses her hat at the bottom of the pond, so everyone participates in a competition to fish the hat out for a grand prize.
Inspired by the story of Spotty Scunthorpe's Scooter, Doke builds a scooter to help with deliveries. When Dave and Denzil try it, they end up crashing it in the pond, but they get it back and clean it up.
On a very windy day, Doke and Marcia go on a trip to retrieve all of Milly's blown away washing, while Root mistakes the moaning of the wind for a ghost.
Doke delivers some bottles to Granny Annie's house for her lemonade, which accidentally gets ruined by Neptune, who puts baking powder in the lemonade instead of sugar. While Granny Annie cleans up, Oakie stops by the Corncrackers' house to teach the animals to make music and they all form an orchestra.
Doke starts up treasure hunt for the animal children, while he does some chores for their parents. Root throws a conker, one of the items on the hunt, down a manhole and while trying to retrieve it, he gets a bit lost, but luckily, Manny helps him out.
Doke babysits the tadpoles for Grannie Annie and Shrimp for Mrs. Tickle. Meanwhile Snoot spots what she thinks is a monster, but it is actually Lizzie's papier-mâché mask.
Doke runs Mrs. Tickle's shop while looking after Shrimp and Root. Later, Shrimp wanders off and Marcia finds a puddle of jam.
Dave and Denzil establish a wishing well to collect nuts from wish makers. Doke finds out about this and tricks Dave and Denzil into thinking those wishes do come true.
Oakie helps Root plant a nut at the allotment, but Dave and Denzil take the opportunity to trick Root into thinking a wheelbarrow has grown from the nut. Doke finds out about this and decides, with the help of Root, to catch the two of them.
Root has lost his cuddly toy mouse with the bell on, so he and Doke become detectives for the day in order to search for it.
Doke is tired today and falls asleep, missing his chores. The village children attempt to do the chores themselves instead.
When the village children play a game in Oakie's house, Root ends up stuck at the top and can't go down Oakie's slide, as Oakie told him not to. Meanwhile, Granddad Albert and Oakie Doke try to figure out what to do with Rose's burnt pizzas. Granny Annie's pram's wheels have fallen off, which gives Oakie an idea – he can use the burnt pizzas as substitute wheels.
In the middle of the Oakie Hollows Painting Contest, Dave and Denzil, the judges, give a painted stone a monstrous expression, scaring the village children. Doke finds out about this and gives Dave and Denzil such a fright that they won't want to do it again.
Root wants a new pet, while Doke can't get his breakfast as he has a lot of jobs to do. After much searching for the both of them, Root gets a pet rock whilst Doke gets his breakfast at the Moles' place.
It's Granny Annie's birthday, and whilst the rest of the Toad family try to keep it a secret, Oakie proposes that the Oakie Hollows Orchestra reunite to perform a special birthday song for her.
The day after a thunderstorm, Doke helps Rufus and Rain repair their chimney. Meanwhile, Root thinks he can hear giants, and thanks to Hickory and Snoot, there are now several bowls rolling around the woods, causing chaos wherever they go.
Everyone in Oakie Hollows is having an Oakie Hollows Fete, with Granny Annie in charge of fortune telling, Root trying his hand at the ring toss, Rufus in charge of the Acorn Alley game and Dave and Denzil in charge of security.
The Corncrackers are helping get a surprise party ready for Rose. Root doesn't turn out to be very useful - until Oakie Doke shows up. Together, they gather flowers, groundling berries and jam tarts (with the help of Root's tail).
When Oakie sees Moses and Neptune's go carts, he decides to hold a go cart race. The prize is a big cake, which Dave and Denzil are determined to have for themselves.
Oakie Doke babysits Moses and Neptune while Granny Annie is out, but Moses and Neptune turn out to be very messy.
The Corncrackers spot a shooting star in the night sky. Scoot and Hickory trick Root with a pretend flying saucer, so Root tricks them with a spaceman costume.
