Mister Maker is a preschool television series commissioned by Michael Carrington at the BBC for CBeebies.[1] The series launched in 2007[2] and also airs on BBC One and BBC Two. In the United States and Latin America the series airs on the Discovery Familia network, dubbed in Spanish and in Portuguese in Brazil.[3] To date three series have been commissioned from The Foundation (part of RDF Media).[2][4] It also airs in Australia on ABC2. The series comprises a mixture of animation and real time content. A total of 3 spin-offs were produced, Mister Maker Comes To Town, Mister Maker Around the World and Mister Maker's Arty Party, which began airing on CBeebies in 2010, 2013 and 2015 respectively. Mister Maker is portrayed by Phil Gallagher.

Sequence

Every episode has the following sequence:

1. Has a creative idea and demonstrates the procedure

2. Shape dance and make a picture

3. Minute make it time

4. Colour Kids

5. Frame-it

6. One more creative idea is demonstrated

7. Time to go

Mister Maker does something interesting and that gives him an idea of what to make. He collects the required things from the Doodle drawers or an art and craft shop and makes it. Then he wakes up the shapes and they do a song and dance, followed by a randomly selected shape (circle, triangle, square or rectangle) to form a picture or to find how many (particular shape) are there. Tocky, the cuckoo clock, then pops out for Minute Make Time and Mister Maker will make something in a minute, usually completing it just before the timer stops. The 'colour kids' (Jodie Griffiths, Olivia Lockett, Mackenzie Roylance, Georgia Pickles and Amy Lees) will ask from the window to Mister Maker to guess what they would make with their 'colour costumes'. It is followed by 'Frame It', where Mister Maker makes something 'ever so good' that the viewers will be able to Frame It! Mister Maker will be confronted by something, and that will give him an idea on what to make next. The show then ends showing credits and Mister Maker putting everything back into the art box.
