The series was the last production by duo Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate.[3]
Although the thirteen part series was originally broadcast between October and December 1986 it was to receive many repeats over the years, although often a repeat run would be of just eleven of the thirteen episodes.
The series follows the adventures of Pinny, a small wooden doll that lives in a dollhouse on a shelf. A model ship sits next to the house which contains Pinny's sailor friend Victor. The 'adventures' come in the form of the home's two children, Jo and Tom, who often take the toys down to play with them.[4][5]
