Format[]
Songs[]
Multiple songs are featured in each episode, including songs from recent studio videos, songs performed in concert and ones filmed exclusively for the series, taking place at an outdoor location, such as a forest (series 4) or a beach (series 5). The TV Series 4 song clips were filmed exclusively in April 2004, while the series 5 song clips were filmed in May 2005.
In series 4, songs from Top of the Tots (in their original 16:9 widescreen presentation), LIVE Hot Potatoes! and the not-yet-released Sailing Around the World appear. Song title cards are used, with a cartoon Big Red Car or Feathersword revealing the title. Series 5 features songs from Here Comes The Big Red Car, It's Time to Wake Up Jeff!, and Splish Splash Big Red Boat. It also features live songs filmed during the Santa's Rockin'! Tour.
Several songs in both series are Wiggly Animations by Plastic Wax Animation. In series 5, animated songs in Spanish are performed by "The Mariachi Wiggles", while songs in Mandarin Chinese feature The Mandarin Wiggles. Series 5 treats both animation songs more as a segment, with The Wiggles almost always introducing them.
Sailing Around the World[]
Focusing on Captain Feathersword and his crew, we see them have misadventures on the S.S. Feathersword or at the beach. In series 4, The Wiggles are largely absent, appearing only in the songs following these segments. In series 5, Anthony and Jeff occasionally appear, while The Wiggles are seen during songs much less often (only in Sorry Again and Bing Bang Bong (That's a Pirate Song)). The intro for the segment is the same one used in its eponymous video, with the only difference being its title card.
In series 4, there are 11 different segments. Two of these are repeated once each, making a total of 13 appearances in the series. They are always placed in the first half of odd-numbered 22-minute episodes (1, 3, 5, etc), and every other odd-numbered 11-minute episode (1, 5, 9, etc). The TV Series 4 segments would be eventually featured in the Sailing Around the World video. They were filmed in May 2004[5].
In series 5, there are 14 segments, with most appearing in the first half of even-numbered 22-minute episodes (2, 4, 6, etc), or every other odd-numbered 11-minute episode (3, 7, 11, etc). Because that would only allow 13 slots, one segment appears outside the normal pattern, in 22-minute episode 5/11-minute episode 10.
Wigglehouse[]
Looking much like the Wigglehouse from TV Series 2 (although the layout is different, much of the same furniture is reused or recreated), the segment opens with "In The Wiggles' World". The Wiggles are often seen performing a task, such as Jeff painting a picture of Wigglehouse (which the others mistake for him painting the walls of the house), or Greg cooking Vegetable Soup, prompting the others to wash their hands before they eat. In Series 5, some segments focus on Magic Greg performing magic tricks (such as making milk in a newspaper disappear) and Anthony causing difficulties in his tricks, calling back to similar sketches seen in series 2. Some series 5 segments end with a brief song, either performed live (such as Vegetable Soup) or miming to a short studio recording (such as "Gulp Gulp" or "Here Come The Chicken").
In series 4, there are 12 different segments. One of these is repeated, making a total of 13 appearances in the series. They are always placed in the second half of odd-numbered 22-minute episodes (1, 3, 5, etc), and every other even-numbered 11-minute episode (2, 6, 10, etc). These segments were filmed in July 2004.
In series 5, there are 13 different segments with no repeats. They are always placed in the first half of odd-numbered 22-minute episodes (1, 3, 5, etc), and every other odd-numbered 11-minute episode (1, 5, 9, etc).
Dorothy's Dance Class (S4)/Dorothy's Dancing Alphabet (S5)[]
This segment focuses on Dorothy the Dinosaur and the Wiggly Dancers teaching a specific dance. In Series 5, each dance relates to a letter of the alphabet, which Anthony introduces at Captain's dock. Both segments open up with Dorothy (Would You Like To Dance?).
In series 4, there are 25 different Dorothy's Dance Class segments. Two of these are repeated once each, making a total of 27 appearances in the series. They would appear in either the first or second half of every 22-minute episode (except Kangaroo Dance, which featured two segments, one in each half). As such, its appearances varied in the 11-minute episodes; sometimes it was in episodes paired with Sailing Around the World, other times in episodes paired with Wigglehouse. However, it always appeared in episodes paired with The Little Wiggles, and never appeared in every fourth episode (4, 8, 12, etc) as these episodes had no segments and contained only songs.
Despite there being 26 letters of the alphabet, there are only 24 different Dorothy's Dancing Alphabet segments in series 5; there are no segments for the letter 'Y' or 'Z'. Additionally, the 'F' segment is repeated once, making a total of 25 appearances in the series. In the 22-minute version, they appear in the first half of odd-numbered episodes (except Would You Like to Dance With Me?, where it is absent) and the second half of even-numbered episodes. Thus, in the 11-minute version it appears two episodes in a row with a gap of two episodes in between (i.e. episodes 4 & 5, 8 & 9, 12 & 13, etc; although it is again absent from Episode 21).
The Little Wiggles[]
Showing the life of The Wiggles when they were young, similar to the Wigglehouse segments although typically shorter in length. In Series 4, each segment is followed by a song performed by The Little Wiggles, while series 5 dropped them.
In series 4, there are 12 different segments. One of these is repeated, making a total of 13 appearances in the series. They are always placed in the first half of even-numbered 22-minute episodes (2, 4, 6, etc), and every other odd-numbered 11-minute episode (3, 7, 11, etc). Additionally, there are 8 different Little Wiggles songs, some of which are repeated at least once.
In series 5, there are 11 different segments. Two of these are repeated once each, making a total of 13 appearances in the series. They are always placed in the second half of odd-numbered 22-minute episodes (1, 3, 5, etc), and every other even-numbered 11-minute episode (2, 6, 10, etc).
Jeff's Animal Adventures[]
This segment, which appears only in series 5, features Jeff showcasing some animals, filmed at Tarronga Zoo in Sydney. These are usually less than 30 seconds and are often set to a instrumental of Anthony's Workshop.
The segment is never given a name on-screen, although the description to The Pick of TV Series 5 DVD calls it "Jeff's Animal Adventures". ABC episode descriptions also called them "Jeff's Animal Facts".
There are 21 different segments that appear. Five of these are repeated once each, making a total of 26 appearances. The segment does not appear in every episode, and in some 22-minute episodes it appears twice. It has no consistent placement pattern across either version of the series.
Broadcast History[]
Both series originally aired on ABC1 in their 11-minute versions. Series 4 took a hiatus between May 27 and August 8, 2005, although Episode 31 premiered after an airing of Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins! on June 13.[6] Episode 3 of series 5 aired out of order, as other programming took the show's spot on the Wednesday, June 21, 2006 schedule.[7] It aired the next Monday instead, pushing forward the premieres of Episode 6 onward. The series also aired on Playhouse Disney in Australia in their 22-minute versions. Although it's unknown when they premiered, series 5 aired there in June 2008,[8] and aired again in 2009 between runs of Series 4.[9]
In New Zealand, series 4 premiered on TV3[10], although it's unknown which version aired. Reruns of the 11-minute versions of both series later aired on TVNZ Kidzone.[11] It also played on Playhouse Disney at the same time as Australia.
In the USA, the 22-minute version debuted on Playhouse Disney in 2005. As with all series, Disney aired them out of order and with new episodes not consistently scheduled. The entirety of series 4 aired within just under a year; however, series 5 took almost a year and a half across 2007 and 2008 (by which time Sam had become the new yellow Wiggle) between its first and last new episode. After The Wiggles later moved to PBS Kids Sprout, that network began airing the 11-minute versions of both series by 2009. Series 5 also appeared on the NBC Kids block circa 2012-2013.[12][13] This block is known to have aired unique, re-edited episodes of Series 6 (presumably to ensure they met E/I standards), but it's unknown if Series 5 was given similar treatment as no complete recordings exist online as of 2022. Episodes of both series are in rotation on The Wiggles Channel.
In Canada, both series aired on Treehouse TV in their 22-minute versions. Series 5 premiered there on March 1, 2008.[14]
In the UK and Ireland, the 22-minute versions aired on Nick Jr. and Nick Jr. 2.
Series 4 aired on JimJamTV in Italy circa 2008-2009.[15][16] Dialogue was dubbed in Italian.
In India, it is unknown which series was dubbed, had aired on Chutti TV, Dialogue was dubbed in Tamil.
Version Differences[]
The original 11-minute versions that aired on ABC are very similar to the 22-minute versions. Unlike TV Series 3 and 6, where songs and segments are reshuffled and replaced to change the running time, every episode in the 22-minute versions has a song or segment that ends at the exact 11-minute mark. Thus, the 11-minute versions are simply those episodes split in half, with a brief outro scene of The Wiggles saying goodbye added to the end of the first half (as well as credits laid over the last 30 seconds or so) and the theme song placed before the second half. Other brief edits are made to make each episode exactly 11 minutes, such as some songs or Dorothy's Dance Class segments being shortened in Series 4 to make room for the theme song or end scene. In Series 5, some short interstitial scenes of The Wiggles or their friends dancing or waving between segments in the 22-minute versions are removed in the 11-minute versions for the same reasons.
As with other series, the 11-minute versions aired on Sprout differed slightly from those aired on ABC and Kidzone as there was room for a commercial break after the opening theme. Sprout did not place commercials here, although there would be a quick cut to black at this time. Series 4 episodes would then begin with a closing guitar transition.
Similarly, series 4 episodes on Nick Jr. in the UK were an otherwise rarely used version featuring a fade to black at the 11:00 mark to allow commercials (though again there was no break placed there by Nick Jr.). These fades were covered by a transition in other versions, though they're often still visible as the transitions begin.
Tie-in Videos[]
Videos that were produced alongside the series include Sailing Around the World, which was released in 2005 around the time of TV Series 4, while Here Comes The Big Red Car and It's Time to Wake Up Jeff! were released around the same time as TV Series 5 in 2006. These three videos and the two series share many of the same segments and songs. Because Sailing Around the World is almost entirely new songs with a continued theme and focus on Captain Feathersword, and the latter two videos are remakes of Big Red Car and Wake Up Jeff!, respectively, it can be assumed these shared scenes were made for the videos first.
However, Splish Splash Big Red Boat, released the same day as It's Time to Wake Up Jeff!, is a more straightforward clip show of TV Series 5. It is made up of a variety of songs and segments from that series (plus one from Series 4), almost all of which had appeared in previous videos, with no real theme tying them together.
Racing to the Rainbow, released on DVD after TV Series 5 had ended, used the same Wigglehouse and S.S. Feathersword sets, though with a noticeably different look to the shots, as it was The Wiggles' first studio video to be filmed in High Definition. Bloopers from Series 5 and its related videos were included as a bonus feature on Racing to the Rainbow's DVD, further tying it in with the series.
Releases[]
Physical Home Video[]
Unlike the three series prior, neither series was ever given a complete DVD box set. However, in June 2010, two compilations were released containing the first 9 episodes of each series in their 22-minute versions: The Wiggles Show: The Pick of TV Series 4 and Ready, Steady, Wiggle! The Pick of TV Series 5. They were only released in Australia and New Zealand and are currently out of print.
Digital Retail[]
In Australia and New Zealand, both complete series were available on iTunes using modified artwork from the DVD releases. Each series was split into two volumes, with 13 episodes per volume. All episodes were presented in 360p, a resolution over 200 pixels smaller in height than the original 576p resolution (technically 576i, but iTunes doesn't support interlaced video so it must be deinterlaced). Series 4 was also in mono sound despite being created in stereo. Neither is currently available for purchase. But, they are still available on Google Play and YouTube.[citation needed]
Streaming[]
Episodes appeared on the now-defunct Wiggle Time! TV service. Series 5 was at one time streaming on Netflix in Australia, though it was removed in 2018. As noted above, both series have played on The Wiggles Channel, a linear streaming network available through The Roku Channel in the USA. Episodes have also been uploaded to various WildBrain YouTube channels by WildBrain Spark, an subsidiary of WildBrain which are viewable worldwide; these episodes are presented with an incorrect aspect ratio and framerate.
Trivia[]
- For the 22-minute versions, Series 4 completed post-production on 1 February 2005 and Series 5 completed post-production on 17 March 2006.[17]
- These are the last series to feature The Wiggles in their 2001 skivvies and pants.
- Series 5 served as Greg's last aired TV series as a Wiggle, though a sixth series was partially shot with him before being replaced by Sam.
- The songs in series 4 and 5 came from various videos from Top of the Tots to It's Time to Wake Up Jeff!.
- This series did not include the songs from Cold Spaghetti Western and Santa's Rockin'! (not counting "We're The Cowboys" which appears in animation). This is most likely because that video was produced with ABC (as series 3, Wiggle Bay and Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins! had been) whereas these series were produced independently like series 1 and 2.
- Songs filmed for series 5 later appeared in Splish Splash Big Red Boat, and animated Mandarin Wiggles songs were used in the video Lights, Camera, Action! 好戲上場 and the Mandarin version of The Wiggles Show!.
- This is the first series to have Christmas songs, despite these episodes not debuting in December in Australia.
- Series 4 was the first series not to feature the song "Get Ready To Wiggle", while series 5 was the last one to feature "Wake Up Jeff!"
- In series 5, The Wiggles revisited songs from some of their earliest albums, namely Here Comes a Song and The Adventures Of Captain Feathersword, The Friendly Pirate, for the first time since their respective release years in 1992 and 1993.
- Most songs which are featured as part of segments do not appear in the series outside those segments, with some exceptions.
- In series 4, the only Little Wiggles song to appear standalone is Vegetable Soup at the end of The Train Dance.
- In series 4, all Sailing Around the World songs are exclusive to the segments. In series 5, however, exceptions are made for "I Want To Wear The Jacket" and "Sorry Again" (both of which were played in episodes without their accompanying segments), as well as "Bing Bang Bong (That's a Pirate Song)" (which played with its entire segment additional times without the Sailing Around the World intro). These songs were most likely repeated because they are featured in Here Comes The Big Red Car and It's Time to Wake Up Jeff!, respectively.
- "Little Brown Ant" is the only song from a Wigglehouse segment to appear in other episodes. Once again, this is probably because it was featured in Splish Splash Big Red Boat, and is one of only a few complete songs to be performed in that segment to begin with.
- Most background music in these series are the instrumental recordings of various songs, while some occasional background music is reused from The Wiggles Movie, TV Series 1 and TV Series 2.
- Series 5 was the final series to be shot at the Sydney Film and Television Studios.
- This is the first TV Series to air on Treehouse TV in Canada.
