Popular children’s TV show Balamory is returning and some of the original stars are reprising their roles.

The revamped series will air next year with Julie Wilson Nimmo (Miss Hoolie), Andrew Agnew (PC Plum), Kim Tserkezie (Penny Pocket) and Juliet Cadzow (Edie McCredie) all returning.

Balamory’s new series will blend familiar faces with a host of new characters, offering preschoolers a joyful mix of stories, comedy, songs and adventures.

At its heart remains the charming fictional town of Balamory and its lively inhabitants where brightly-coloured houses cluster around a scenic harbour and life revolves around the nursery school and its caring teacher.
