“The core of The Wiggles for me is their humanity; the human scale of what they offer. They’re not puppets, they’re not cartoons; they’re real people. There’s something kind of life-enhancing about The Wiggles; there’s a spirit, a good nature that runs through them.” Ben Elton – Comedian, writer and author CHILDREN’S Series 1: 52 x 11’ HD and Series 2: 52 x 11’ HD Conceived by Anthony Field Directed & Written by Anthony Field & Paul Field Produced by Paul Field Executive Producers: Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt, Anthony Field CHILDREN’S HD Series 1: 52 x 11’ and Series 2: 52 x 11’ Ready, Steady, Wiggle! – Series 1 and Series 2 are the premiere series from the new Wiggles line-up featuring brand new songs, along with fresh interpretations of Wiggles favourites. Anthony, Lachy, Simon and Emma (the first-ever female Wiggle) engage, entertain and inform children with their catchy songs and delightful friends.

In the Wiggle House there are new locations such as Lachy’s invention room, Simon’s library, and Emma’s music and dance room, as well as special guests from around the world, including Lou Diamond Phillips, star of over 52 movies including La Bamba. Of course, The Wiggles are also joined by their familiar friends, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog and Captain Feathersword, the friendly pirate! All the material is guided by The Wiggles’ early childhood educational background. The Wiggles and their friends provide a wide range of experiences designed to enhance children’s learning and development. Children are given opportunities to become connected with their environment when they have the chance to broaden their understanding of the world in which they live.
