One of the other characters (who will be the main character of that episode) tells Miss Hoolie about a problem. This character then sings "Which Coloured House Are We Going To?", asking the young viewers to guess which of the Balamory characters will be most helpful in solving the problem. The main character then proceeds to visit several other characters until the problem is solved. Miss Hoolie and the main character provide a summary of the story at each point, and a final recap at the end of the episode.

All characters, with the exception of Miss Hoolie, sing the Coloured House song one at a time per episode. Penny and Suzie have sung this song both individually and together. The show was first confirmed to be in production on 20 November 2001, under the working title of Applecross before it was named Balamory in August 2002. [3] Filming locations [ edit ] BBC Worldwide released many VHS and DVDs of the series in United Kingdom, which each focus on a specific character or theme. I was absolutely over the moon when I won this item as it has become increasingly difficult to buy Balamory DVD's and other related items in the shops. We loved this, the first Balamory we have bought on DVD, its not just the two episodes,which are bright, cheerful, colourful and fun, there are extras on too,my little girl has a few difficulties and adores Balamory. She has seen most episode but this one had never been on T.V. it may have been by now but we have not seen it so that made it better than any of the VHS videos we have bought although she loves thmem all. its good family fun, and has lovely music and songs in, all in all brilliant buy 100% worth the money.

However they are longer in length than the programmes so that is some compensation, together with the games and other extras which are also included. I bought the Balamory Seeking Santa DVD as a birthday gift for my now 2 year old daughter and also to help her get excited for Santa coming. The DVD is really good and has kept her entertained for hours. The only problem is that she doesn't like it when mammy has to turn it off!

Balamory was filmed mostly in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, with the exception of scenes at Archie's castle filmed in East Lothian, and other scenes such as the nursery and the Mainland City, which were filmed in Glasgow. The show has seen two live tours that were held in Arenas across the United Kingdom, being co-productions with BBC Worldwide and DC Entertainment. There are eight central characters in Balamory. Each character wears a distinctive colour of clothing and lives in a house of the same colour. The first show, Balamory Live! What's the Story, toured Aberdeen, Cardiff, and Glasgow for the 2004 Christmas season. The follow-up show – Balamory Live: Strike Up the Band was held as a farewell tour, and was held in the Autumn of 2005. The cast of the series reprised their roles in the show except for three of them.
