Season 1 is available on Amazon Instant Video in United Kingdom.

### Adaptations

Calon released two picture books, Where's My Doggie? and I'm Not Igam Ogam, covering the specific episodes.
The Welsh creative dance company Coreo Cymru and the Wales Millennium Centre in association with Calon have produced a live dance and acrobatics stage show called The Igam Ogam Show (Sioe Igam Ogam in Welsh language), which toured several Welsh cities in summer 2013. The show was created by Carole Blade.
