About this show

This award-winning BBC series uses Makaton sign language and is aimed at children with learning and communication difficulties - but is has also proved incredibly popular with many other pre-school viewers. These eight episodes focus on everyday aspects of young children's lives, and feature clowning and tomfoolery from the irrepressible Mr Tumble (as well as Lord Tumble, Aunt Polly and Grandad Tumble). Justin goes round to his friend's house to bake biscuits and Mr Tumble is off to the shops to buy a bone for his pet dog, Chip.
