The third series of hit pre-school animation, Pip Ahoy!, produced by Wilmslow’s CHF Entertainment, has premiered exclusively on ITVBe.
The channel has acquired all three seasons of the show and will broadcast them twice daily from Monday to Friday. The first episode of the new 26 x 11’ series debuted today at 11:20am.
