About This Program

The show titled “Gecko Is Snoring/Green Saves the Tree/Don't Throw It… Fix Up and Fly It!” is an episode‑style programme presented as a triple‑bill. Each of the three parts offers a separate vignette, linked by the same cast of characters. It’s packaged as a single broadcast that moves from one short story to the next. In the first slot, Gecko returns home exhausted after a long day’s labour. The segment focuses on his fatigue, showing him snoring away as a sign of his weariness. The scene captures the simple pleasure of rest after hard work. The second story shifts to Weasel, who decides to fell a tree. He grabs a tool and attempts to bring the trunk down, providing a brief look at his effort and the challenges he faces while trying to cut the wood. The final piece follows the Mechanicals, a group inspired by their idol Kat. They set their sights on learning how to fly, mimicking Kat’s aerial feats. Their attempts to take to the skies form the closing narrative of the triple bill.
