New Hey Duggee episodes on CBeebies next week to feature popular gameshows

If your child is a fan of popular CBeebies show Hey Duggee then chances are you can probably recite most episodes by heart you've seen them that often.

But fear not the good news for parents (and kids of course) is that brand new episodes are coming next week, and there's some interesting trivia for the parent's to enjoy too.

In one new Hey Duggee  episode, called the The Game Show Badge the show will pay homage to popular TV gameshows that parents watching with their children will recognise, including  University ChallengeThrough The KeyholeThe Generation GameWho Wants To Be A Millionaire?  and Mastermind .

The Squirrels are bored. They have played all of their board games and are looking for something new to enjoy, so Duggee hosts his Woofety Woof Gameshow.

The Squirrels are up against the reigning champions, The Acorn Heads (a team of familiar faces). They play a series of different rounds all based on some familiar looking gameshows, to see who will be crowned the winning team.

Viewers will see Roly take the famous black  Mastermind  chair and a mouse wearing a bow tie presenting ‘In Who’s House Is This Mouse?’ in a gentle nod to Loyd Grossman’s tenure on  Through The Keyhole , among other playful takes on familiar game shows.

Hey Duggee  is narrated by comedian Alexander Armstrong and follows the adventures of pre-schoolers Happy, Tag, Norrie, Betty and Roly as they try new things and earn badges at The Squirrel Club under the guidance of Duggee.

Brand new episodes of Hey Duggee  Series 3 air weekdays on CBeebies at 7:15am and are also available on BBC iPlayer. The Gameshow Badge episode premieres on June 22.
