To celebrate the show's 20th anniversary, 25 episodes from Series 4 were added to BBC iPlayer on 30 August 2022. Miss Hoolie's opening song, either "Everybody, Everyone" if the nursery school is open, or one of the two "play day" songs otherwise The only downpoint with the DVD is that it only contains 2 Balamory stories. However they are longer in length than the programmes so that is some compensation, together with the games and other extras which are also included. I bought the Balamory Seeking Santa DVD as a birthday gift for my now 2 year old daughter and also to help her get excited for Santa coming. The DVD is really good and has kept her entertained for hours. The only problem is that she doesn't like it when mammy has to turn it off!

She plays and coaches all types of gymnastics, sports and dance and is also talented at storytelling through expressive movement and dance. Her main colour is yellow and she lives in a yellow towered house. There are eight central characters in Balamory. Each character wears a distinctive colour of clothing and lives in a house of the same colour.Spencer (played by Rodd Christensen) is a painter. He is responsible for making Balamory as colourful as it is and is also talented with music, especially as his painter's ladder is musical; each rung sounding a different note. He's also the only American living in Balamory. His main colour is orange and he lives in an orange bungalow. The programme was aimed at preschoolers although often reached an older audience. [2] The show can also be seen in a humorous light. The characters in Balamory are somewhat naive and light hearted. The storyline revolves around simple problems designed to challenge pre-schoolers' minds.
