Summerton Mill is a British children’s television series created by Pete Bryden and Ed Cookson. It was first shown on the CBeebies channel in 2005 as a segment of the BBC’s Tikkabilla. It has subsequently been repeated both within Tikkabilla and as a standalone show on CBeebies and BBC2. It is a stop-motion animated series featuring the characters Dan, his companion Fluffa, Dr and Mrs Naybhur who live up on the hill, Francoise the cow, Mousey-Tongue the cat, two “yellow-spinner” chickens and the “millfreaks”, tiny creatures which appear to resemble small, furry hedgehogs. In all, twenty-six episodes have been produced, and the show has been broadcast in several European and Middle Eastern countries, including Iceland, Finland, Slovenia, Slovakia, and Iran. As at July 2012, the second series has not been seen on UK television, even though it has been broadcast in over 85 countries around the world.
