==Background==
Taking place in a world where almost all characters are animals, ''Peppa Pig'' revolves around the titular character and her family and friends. Each episode is approximately five minutes long. Each of her friends is a different species of animal. Peppa's friends are her age, and Peppa's younger brother George's friends are his age. Episodes tend to feature everyday activities such as attending [[pre-school playgroup|playgroup]], going swimming, visits with their grandparents, cousins, and friends, going to the playground or riding their bikes.

The characters wear clothes, live in houses, and drive cars, but still display some characteristics of the animals on which they are based. Peppa and her family enjoy jumping in muddy puddles and snort like pigs during conversations in which they are speaking English. The other animals make their respective noises when they talk, with some exhibiting other characteristics, such as the Rabbit family's squeaking sounds and enjoyment of carrots. The Rabbit and Mole families are the exceptions to the rule of human-like habitation, as they live in a [[burrow]] in a hill, though it has windows and is furnished in the same way as the other houses. The characters blush when embarrassed, and their mouths express other emotions such as sadness, happiness, irritation, bewilderment, and confusion. Although the main characters—mostly mammals—are anthropomorphic, other animal characters are not, such as Tiddles the tortoise, Polly Parrot, and the ducks. The narrator of the series, [[John Sparkes]], reinforces the action and humour, saying things like "Oh, dear" when something unfortunate happens (such as when George starts crying) or "Look out!" when a character is doing something unsafe (such as Peppa riding her bicycle without looking where she is going). Each episode ends with visible characters falling over laughing.

==Production and airing==
In the United Kingdom, the first series of 52 five-minute episodes began on [[Channel 5 (UK)|Channel 5]] on 31 May 2004. The second series of 52 episodes began on Channel 5 on 4 September 2006, with Cecily Bloom replacing Lily Snowden-Fine as Peppa, among other cast changes. The third series started telecasting on Channel 5's preschool-targeted block ''[[Milkshake!]]'' on 4 May 2009 with [[Harley Bird]] replacing Cecily Bloom and Lily Snowden-Fine as Peppa.

In this section of the wiki, I believe it is wrong in its current status. Around the time of 2008 - 2012 or Game 1/Game2, was available on the IPhones which I have a recollection of a game that was during that time. The section of the Wiki suggests that no such game exists on mobile devices but there was. So if possible, Please look into this.

:I looked into it further and there’s an actual record of it within my AppStore downloads. The game name is Peppa Pig - Happy Mrs Chicken and it was downloaded by a Device on September 30th 2010. Now I can be properly assured that there’s more games than just 5. Could anyone make a proper edit with a passing mention of this?
