Balamory is a Scottish live-action children's programme created by Brian Jameson for BBC Scotland. The show, promoted by the BBC as being the "world's first soap for pre-school children", centres on a fictional small island community off the west coast of Scotland and deals with the residents of the community and their issues.
Originally lasting for four series and 253 episodes (including a DVD-exclusive Christmas special), Balamory aired on CBeebies from 2002 until 2005. Upon its initial premiere, the series was a big ratings success for the then-newly launched channel, and by the beginning of 2004, was promoted as being the most successful in-house pre-school program produced by the BBC since Teletubbies. Following its initial cancellation in 2005, a revival series was announced by the BBC in September 2024 for a 2026 broadcast window to be produced by Lion Television Scotland.
