Boo! (TV Series) - Characters

Characters

• Boo - a pear-shaped patchwork creature with orange spiky hair. His feet are red with white spots on them. The main object of the programme is to find Boo in his various hiding places. Half-way through each episode, Boo magically adopts attributes of his surroundings (e.g. becomes "Penguin Boo" in the Antarctic). Boo cannot talk, although he whistles at the beginning of each episode and dances during every song.
• Laughing Duck (voiced by Kate Harbour) - a yellow soft-toy duck, who laughs when "found". She has a red-orange beak that matches her legs and has abilities to fly and swim. In some episodes, she meets some people who happen to be employees. In the hospital, she has been found sad because her laugh is lost, but it is regained when Boo tickles her flipper.
• Sleeping Bear (voiced by Justin Fletcher) - a brown teddy bear who is usually asleep, yawning or stretching when "found". Her blankie is red with white-printed hearts on it. The catchphrase associated with her is "Shhh... I'm taking a nap right now."
• Growling Tiger (also voiced by Justin Fletcher) - a friendly soft-toy tiger with fluffy white ears. He says "Roar!" (not "Growl!") when found. His associated catchphrase is "I am fierce! Run away! Run away!"
