The Lingo Show is a British flash animated children's television series created by Nicole Seymour, produced by the BBC and animated by Dinamo Productions for BBC's CBeebies channel and programming block. The characters and many other elements were designed by Kate Sullivan. The show, which combines flash animation with live-action footage, is designed to introduce preschool kids to new languages. The programme, which ran for 2 series totalling 30 episodes, initially began as an interactive minisite on the CBeebies website, aired on CBeebies between 2012 and 2013, and repeated until 2018.
Storyline
The show revolves around Lingo, a half-ladybird and half-butterfly (according to Word of God) insect and his team of foreign bugs, as they travel around the UK to perform "Big Bug Shows" for children. The humans are live-action, but the bugs are all animated.
