Woolly and Tig

Woolly and Tig is a British series of 5-minute live action comedies about a five-year-old girl (Tig) and her toy spider called Woolly. Woolly and Tig is also available on BBC iPlayer for over a year.

The character of Tig is played by three year old Betsy McCredie; Dad is played by Colin McCredie (Betsy's actual father);[1] Mum is played by Jenny Ryan (Betsy's Aunt) and the series is narrated by Maisie McCredie (Betsy's older sister).

One of the directors is Andrew Agnew, who played PC Plum in the children's series Balamory. Woolly and Tig is produced by Tattiemoon, who produced Balamory and Me Too!

Summary

Each episode shows the main character, Tig Jameson, in a different situation, e.g. being afraid of thunder or staying away from home. Her toy spider, Woolly, helps her overcome these situations by telling her what to think. It then cuts to Tig sorting out these problems. The episode finishes with someone getting frightened by Woolly, and Tig saying "It's only a toy spider" and "I love Woolly".

Woolly is Tig's imaginary friend. He is actually a stuffed spider toy, although Tig imagines him as real. He also portrays Tig's conscience, and usually appears when Tig feels guilty, scared, or angry. Woolly is silly and likable. He is also funny, imaginative and energetic.
