About Dot to Dot Productions

Dot to Dot Productions is an independent children's and family television production company based in West London. Founded by Jo Killingley, the studio creates live-action, animated and hybrid programmes for preschool and children's audiences. Its work spans educational entertainment, arts and crafts, character-led storytelling, puppetry and children's culinary programming.

The company develops original concepts and television formats, with capabilities covering scriptwriting, series bibles, studio and location filming, in-house 2D digital animation, character rigging and graphics. It also supervises post-production and prepares distribution assets, taking projects from development through production and delivery. Its combination of live-action and animation supports formats that bring presenters, illustrated characters and practical activities together.

Programmes and creative range

The studio's productions include Get Squiggling! and its educational spin-off Get Squiggling! Letters, alongside School of Roars, a 2D animated preschool series co-commissioned by CBeebies and NBCUniversal's Sprout. The latter features voice performers including Kathy Burke and Andrew Scott.

Its live-action and hybrid output includes Footy Pups, hosted by footballer Rachel Yankey, and five seasons of the CBBC art-sitcom Art Ninja. The compilation spin-off Nine Minute Ninja extends that programme's art-focused format. Other work includes Totally Rubbish, The Adventures of William Whiskerson and the collaborative production Fun With Claude.

The company's more recent production history includes the 2021 launch of Makeaway Takeaway for CITV and a new version of Big Cook, Little Cook for CBeebies in 2022. Together, these programmes reflect its continuing focus on accessible activities, learning and entertainment for young viewers.

Across its catalogue, Dot to Dot has worked with public-service and commercial broadcasters serving UK and international audiences. Commissioning and broadcast partners identified in its production history include BBC children's channels, ITV's CITV, Universal Kids and Sprout, ZDF, Nick Jr. and S4C. The studio's output encompasses both original intellectual property and productions developed with broadcasting and production partners.
