Me Too! is a British live action educational television programme for preschool children based on Balamory broadcast on BBC Two and CBeebies created by Brian Jameson from September 2006 to March 2008 and is set in the fictional city of Riverseafingal in Scotland, though in reality the programme was filmed in North Berwick, Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, Newcastle upon Tyne and Manchester. The round school in the programme is a real school situated in Gourock, called Gourock Primary School.

Me Too! was produced by Glasgow based production company Tattiemoon. One of the directors is Andrew Agnew, who played PC Plum from Balamory which had the same similarities in concept as Me Too!.

The series

The series follows six parents and their children, including Rebecca, Jack, Kai and Lisa, and a dog called Sampson who are apart during the day as the children go to Granny Murray's house and the parents go to work. At various points in the programme, the parent will think of their child and a 'think puff' travels across the city to Granny Murray's house, then the child will think of their parent and the 'think puff' will travel back to the parents' work.

The programme then alternates between what the parents are doing at work and what the children are doing with Granny Murray. One of the aims behind the series is to reassure children of working parents who go to childminders that their parents are always thinking of them. In addition, children get a view into an adult's working day.

Each episode's plot hinges on a problem that develops at work and the main character's "race against time" to sort it out. Granny Murray always provides a kernel of wisdom during the programme's opening that helps the problem be solved. The programme features much usage of clocks and time, and hence also aims to teach young children to tell the time.

Characters

Adults

Granny Murray (played by Jane McCarry) is the main character of the series. She is a childminder who takes care of the children who attend her house on Tattiemoon Lane and likes advising the parents, which always saves the day whenever the other adults have their predicaments. Her two songs, which are played every episode, are the short two-line song "Who's Here" and the faster and upbeat "What Have We Done Today?", which is played at the end of every episode before she delivers a recap on the episode. Her role in the series is similar to that of Miss Hoolie on Balamory.
Rudi (played by Chris McCausland) is a blind fruit and veg trader and the father of Jack and husband of Louie. He operates a stall on the Riverseafingal Market that sells fruits and vegetables. When Rudi is in a hurry, he rides the taxi (not Tina's) to work. His song is "The Market".
Tina (played by Elaine Mackenzie Ellis) is a taxi driver and the mother of Lisa and wife of Raymond. She takes customers in her pink taxi around Riverseafingal, and she is also a theatrical costume and prop hirer when she isn't driving. When Tina is in a hurry to work, she rides the subway to work. Her song is "Pretty Pink Taxi" .
Raymond (played by Matthew McVarish) is a railway buffet car manager and the father of Lisa and husband of Tina. He operates the Buffet car on the Riverseafingal Trains. When Raymond is in a hurry, he rides the metro to the station. His song is "I Love My Train".
Dr. Juno (played by Rosemary Amoani) is an A&E consultant and the owner of Sampson. She works in the hospital, mainly in the children's department. She usually cycles to work, but when she is in a hurry, she rides the tram to the work. Her song is "I'm Rushing Here and There"
Mickey John (played by Donald Mcleary) is a primary school teacher and the father of Rebecca. He teaches a class at the local primary school. When Mickey John is in a hurry, he rides the speedboat across the river to work. His song is "School Day, Work Away"
Bobby (played by Samantha Seager) is a bus cleaner and the mother of Kai. She runs the nightshift at the bus depot, making sure the local buses are nice and clean for the next day. When Bobby is in a hurry, she rides the bus to the depot. Her song is "Bobby Boogie Woogie".

Children/Pets

Rebecca (played by Rebecca Morrow), the daughter of Mickey John.
Jack (played by Jack McGarril), the son of Rudi and Louie.

Recurring Characters
