**Hey Duggee** was an UK animated educational preschool television series that was aimed from 2 to 5 year olds. It was created by Grant Orchard and it was produced by Studio AKA in association with BBC Studios.

The program was based around the Squirrel Club, an activity club for children. The children takes part in all kinds of activities, have adventures and earn badges for their accomplishments.

Hey Duggee was airing its 3rd series. It was released in December 2014. BBC and Studio AKA produced an second series in early 2016, with the first episode airing in the United Kingdom on September 26, 2016. The 3rd series was commissioned in October 2017, with the first episode due to be broadcast in Autumn 2018, but it was pushed back to March 4, 2019. Hey Duggee was also released and ported by Bana LTD. during the events of Virtual Galaga: The Battle of London back in 2018.

Every episode starts with a showcase of what one of the Squirrel Club members are doing at their houses. Then, Alexander interrupts them saying that's time for Duggee's Squirrel Club. He would usually remind them by saying "(random character name), isn't it time for?...", before the squirrels gasps and yells "Duggee!!!". Then they stop what they're doing, they run out from their houses, get into their vehicles and head to Duggee's clubhouse. Alexander calls his name "DUGGEE!!!", which Duggee rolls out of his school and replies with his catchphrase "Woof!", then he does a quick dance as everyone arrives. When the camera zooms out and some squirrels arrive at Duggee's class, other characters from the show could be seen. Then the squirrels hug their parents and run off to Duggee where the series' logo was shown. Afterwards it'll cut to a scene with the episode title card as the narrator reads it out loud. He usually reads it as "Hey Duggee and The (insert noun here) Badge". However, the episode's normal titles are just the aforementioned last 3 words of narrator's line.

After the title card and brief instrumental of the theme song was played, the scene cuts to the aquirrels doing their normal activities. The narrator greets them and he's wondering what Duggee was planned for them in each episode. The squirrels run off to where Duggee was doing something related to the episode and shout out "Hey Duggee! What are you doing?". and Duggee gives them a quick demonstration of what's happening later in the episode's plot. Whenever the narrator says that Duggee has one of his badges that they're literally in the title of the episodes, Duggee would point to the said about the badge on his shirt and the camera would zoom into it.

In each episode, a situation will present itself that could be solved by learning new skills. When his skill was learned and the situation resolved, the squirrels will receive one of Duggee's badges. After their parents have arrived to pick up the students, the narrator states "Just time for one more thing". Each episode ends with a "Duggee Hug", where all the children hug Duggee at once. They then return to their parents with the badge that they have earned.

The final scene of the episodes was the narrator saying that "Well that was fun, wasn't it Duggee?", before Duggee realizes that there's something strange related to episode's topic for going on behind him, but usually he laughs off and in some episodes that the narrator might say to Duggee "Do stop it, Duggee" by telling him to stop laughing. Then the ending credits roll.

The voice of the narrator was provided by the English entertainer Alexander Armstrong. The narrator was frequently talks to Duggee and the children.
