About This Program

Floating Away is a programme presented as a series of individual episodes, each bearing its own title – “Mystery at Pumpkin Hollow – Part 1”, “Mystery at Pumpkin Hollow – Part 2”, “Wholefish Theatre” and “Find the Fossil”. The collection is classified under the genre “episode”, indicating that each instalment tells a self‑contained story while remaining part of the broader series. The first adventure kicks off when the Pontypandy River overflows, prompting Mandy and Norman to set off on a quest to retrieve their wildlife journal – and, oddly enough, a stash of sandwiches. Meanwhile, the Detectives team up with the Why Files to investigate a spate of inexplicable pumpkins and eerie snuffling noises. Their inquiry continues in the second part of the mystery, this time aided by Moose, who reports hearing the same unsettling sounds during a hike. In a separate episode, Sarah stages an engaging lunchtime performance outside the Wholefish Café. The show is so captivating that Charlie, the café’s owner, fails to notice his stove igniting, leading to a small fire behind the scenes. The final story follows Peter, who discovers what appears to be a dinosaur fossil; however, his dog Nipper darts off with the bone and becomes wedged on a ledge above a cliff. Across the five segments, the series blends light‑hearted escapades with mild suspense, featuring familiar characters tackling everyday mishaps and quirky mysteries in their community.
