Series

You and Me

Television, 1993–1998

The irrepressible Suzy Cato (previously seen on TV3's Early Bird Show and 3pm) presented this show for pre-schoolers. From a set designed to look like a house with bathroom, bedroom and garden, Suzy talks directly to her audience and makes extensive use of te reo. A multicultural focus comes through in the show's stories, songs, animations and puppetry. Suzy's on-set companions are a doll, teddy bear, clown and scarecrow. A sock puppet family also makes regular appearances. Over eight years, more than 2000 episodes were made.
