Synopsis

The adventures of Piggley, a spunky eight-year-old pig, and his friends Dannan the Duck and Ferny the Bull on Raloo Farm in Ireland.

Jakers! was originally conceived by Denise Fitzpatrick based on her experiences on a farm as a young girl in rural Ireland.

The original name for her character and the show she planned to adapt him to was originally titled Piggley Pooh, which caused a cease and desist letter by The Walt Disney Company due to the planned show sharing the same name as the Winnie the Pooh series.

Despite countersuing and having the European Court side with the Fitzpatrick's, their lawyer decided that changing the name of the show and character would be better to avoid future intellectual property issues.

After the name change, production on the show began in March 2002, under the title of The Curley Tales of Piggley Winks.

Notably, the show was rendered in high definition, The majority of the cast recorded their voices at Salami Studios in North Hollywood, California while Peadar Lamb, Frank McCourt, Fionnula Flanagan, David Kelly, and Brendan Gleeson recorded from Slate in Dublin, Ireland.

The Adventures of Piggley Winks was shown on CBeebies and CBBC in United Kingdom from 2004 up until early 2011.
