Summaries

In the land of "Do As You're Told" various bugs named after parental orders experience their daily lives.

A series focusing on tiny humanoid insects ("bugs"), who are named after the orders typically given to children by their parents, grandparents and teachers. The main characters are Stoppit ( a red insect with fluffy hair), and Tidyup (a blue-haired purple insect who is always wearing a necktie). There is a recurring cast of supporting characters, which include bees, spiders, frog-like creatures, etc. The characters do not speak, and their tales are narrated by Terry Wogan. The tales seemingly follow random events in the daily lives of the characters, but feature surreal outcomes.—Dimos I
