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 (Woolly).

The episodes focus on the feelings that children may have when faced with new experiences. Woolly talks Tig through how she is feeling and possible solutions.

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 Tattie Moon.

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".
