Molly and Mack


Molly and Mack is a Scottish children's television series, which began airing on CBeebies in 2018.

Premise

The show centres around an 8-year-old girl called Molly who spends the summer helping her older brother Mack at a toy stall in The Big Hub, a community hall in the fictional Scottish town of Bridgetown.
The Big Hub, managed by Moira, is where a variety of stallholders hold an array of permanent market stalls including a gift stall run by Alice, a fruit and vegetable stall run by resident handyman Bob and a café stall run by Mrs Juniper.
The kids club at The Big Hub is managed by Molly and Mack's widower father James. James is regularly seen supervising a number of children including Molly's friends, Suki, Magnus and Ruby.
Mack's girlfriend Daisy works at a nearby veterinary surgery.
During each episode, there are always two songs performed as a regular problem-solving plot device. When identifying a problem, a character performs The Oops Song, before another character sings The Idea Song when they propose a solution as a way to solve the problem.

Production

With an entirely Scottish cast, Molly and Mack is filmed in Govan in Glasgow and North Queensferry in Fife, with the Forth Bridge being used as a centrepiece for the fictional Bridgetown. The bridge is heavily featured in the opening sequence of the show, in various on-location shots and promotional material for the series.
After its original run of twenty 15-minute episodes in 2018, it was announced in early 2019 that the BBC had commissioned a second series of Molly and Mack.
The show airs on ABC Kids in Australia.
