Mister Maker is a British children's television series produced by RDF Media (series 1)/The Foundation (series 2–3) for CBeebies. The series aired from 17 September 2007 until 12 April 2009.
The series was presented by Phil Gallagher in the title role. The series was followed by four spin-offs: Mister Maker Comes to Town, Mister Maker Around the World, Mister Maker's Arty Party (also on BBC iPlayer for over a year) and Mister Maker at Home, which began airing in 2010, 2013, 2015 and 2020, respectively.
Mister Maker, created and performed by Phil Gallagher, presents the show (Gallagher also created the series concept). Each episode features seven different sequences:
At the end of each episode, Tocky pops out, saying "Time to go! Time to go!" and reminds Mister Maker that it's time to go. Mister Maker says "Oh, that's it for now. My making time's over, but yours is just beginning! See you soon!", he says "It's time to put all this stuff back in its box!", and the set quickly changes back into small objects in the progress.
Mister Maker was commissioned by Michael Carrington at the BBC for CBeebies. The series launched in September 2007 and also aired on BBC One and BBC Two, It still currently airs on CBeebies, usually during weekdays. In Latin America the series was broadcast on the Discovery Kids and Discovery Familia networks, dubbed in Spanish and in Portuguese in Brazil. In Canada, the series aired on Treehouse TV from 2008 to 2012 and TVOKids from 2013 to 2021. The Foundation (part of RDF Media) commissioned the series for three seasons. It also airs in Australia on ABC2. The series comprises a mixture of animation, CGI and live-action.
Various DVDs of the series were released by 2entertain, and later Abbey Home Media.
Several spin-offs of the series have been created. They all follow the same format.
A YouTube spin-off titled Mister Maker's Mumfie Makes premiered on the show's official YouTube channel in April 2023. This spin-off was created as a tie-in with Zodiak Kids' reboot of Mumfie.
Mister Maker Comes to Town is a spin-off commissioned by Michael Carrington at the BBC for CBeebies. The TV series launched in 2010 and ended in 2011.
At the start of every show, Mister Maker uses various objects to make a Makermobile. He shrinks himself, then the episode starts. Tocky, the cuckoo clock, gives Mister Maker a "mini maker message", a child who needs help from Mister Maker. The child tells Mister Maker what they would like to do or make something out of old things. This inspires him to do something related to them. He collects the essential items from the Doodle Drawers and makes them.
When Mister Maker can't find what he needs, he honks the horn, summoning Scrappz (a blue puppet with a scarf, a hat with straws and pipe cleaners on it, and googly eyes), who gives him what he wants. After they make it, Mister Maker tells us, "it's brilliant being out and about in the Makermobile; there's always so much to see and do." Then he hears a noise, then he asks us "What's that noise?", then a quartet of shapes fly out and sing a silly song and dance, followed by a random shape (circle, triangle, square, or rectangle) to form a picture or find how many shapes there are.
Tocky then appears on the Makervideophone for Minute Make Time, and Mister Maker goes to a place where he can make something in a minute—usually completing it just before the timer stops. Then the Colour Kids ask Mister Maker from the videophone to guess what they would make with their colourful costumes.
It is followed by A Big Surprise, where Mister Maker sees some kids who were not expecting him. The kids tell Mister Maker what they would like to do. Mister Maker tells the kids what they will do, which will give him an idea of what to do next. In the middle of making it, he wonders why not make a (insert thing related to what the Mini Makers are making here). The show ends with Tocky telling Mister Maker to go and then shows Mister Maker putting the Makermobile back in its box.
