Review
Planet Sketch features a quirky collection of madcap new characters brought to life with a unique brand of comedy and charm.

There's the Street Rappers - mean and moody dudes who secretly play skipping games when nobody's looking; the Gnaughty Gnomes - cheeky little garden figures who delight in playing gross-out pranks on innocent passers-by; and the Parping Ponies, two horses who never manage to hold down a decent job due to bottom blasts.

Each sketch gives an absurdly funny yet accurate reflection of children's lives and concerns - the characters and situations provide a mirror of their experience of home and school life, but with the sort of unexpected comedic twists which only animation can provide!

Napkin Squirrel is my personal favourite character from Planet Sketch, a real gem in children's television!
