Little Howard's Big Question
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Little Howard's Big Question is a 2009 BBC One/CBBC children's edutainment programme starring Howard Read as Big
Howard and his six-year-old animated friend, Little Howard. The programme was first broadcast in January 2009 on
Thursdays at 16:35, running for a series of 13 episodes. Series 2 began airing on 6 October 2010. A third series
is due in 2011.
Animated boy Little Howard and his live-action guardian Big Howard live together in Purley, London. Each episode
typically begins with a short comedy sketch, which inspires Little Howard to blow a loud animated klaxon and ask a
"big question" on a related topic. After a credit sequence involving an animated monkey song-and-dance routine,
the remainder of the programme investigates possible answers to the big question, using a combination of research,
expert advice, fantasy, and song.
Further assistance is provided by Mother, a pink anthropomorphic personal computer that wears clothes and feels
emotions.
Although the programme is broadcast on the BBC, which does not show commercial advertising, each episode features
a comedy "advertising break" with imaginary products vaguely related to the big question. Similarly, a frequent
element throughout the series is the use of humorous pop culture references to appeal to an adult audience, and
which would fly over younger viewers' heads.
