The show is also available for viewers on the broadcaster´s on-demand platform My5. There is also a dedicated Milo website, complete with downloadable Activity sheets and a YouTube channel.
The series (52×11’ episodes) is bright, colourful and brings to the screen a contemporary graphic style. Milo, together with his best friends Lofty and Lark, uses role-play to explore the world of vocations – from Doctors and Mechanics, through to Hairdressers, Chefs, and Postal Workers – introducing pre-schoolers to a variety of professions in a positive and entertaining way. The series’ underlining message, through the eyes of Milo and his friends, is that every job is AMAZING!
Milo was produced by Fourth Wall in association with Planeta Junior, a leading European entertainment company. Production was supported by the Young Audiences Content Fund. Managed by the BFI, the fund supports the creation of distinctive, quality content for young audiences. The fund is intended for providing content that informs our understanding of the world, stimulates knowledge and learning, as well as representing diversity and alternative viewpoints.
