Ten Little...Who?

It's almost bedtime for ten mischievous little monkeys, yet they're still full of energy, so Granny consents to a final round of hide‑and‑seek before they settle down. The monkeys scatter, the game begins, and the night draws near with laughter echoing through the house.

Ten Little Monkeys is a brief programme packaged as a single episode, aimed at a young audience. The show belongs to the children’s genre and centres on a troupe of ten mischievous little monkeys. Its simple, light‑hearted structure makes it easy for preschoolers to follow, and the title directly references the ten playful protagonists. As the day draws to a close, the ten cheeky monkeys find themselves on the brink of bedtime. Despite the approaching night, they’re still full of energy and show no sign of being weary. Recognising their lingering enthusiasm, Granny decides to indulge them one more time before lights out. She knows a final burst of play will keep the mood light. Granny consents to one last round of hide‑and‑seek, granting the monkeys a final opportunity to scurry about and conceal themselves. The promise of another game adds a spark of excitement, as each monkey prepares to find a hiding spot while the others count. This brief interlude stretches the evening just enough to satisfy their curiosity. With the night still young, the little troupe gathers, giggling as they scramble behind curtains, under furniture, and into shadowy corners. Granny’s gentle voice calls out the familiar refrain, “Let the game begin,” signalling the start of their final playful adventure before sleep finally settles in.
