The show won two BAFTA awards.

The show was written by Robin Stevens and Andrew Davenport who also played the characters Tom and Tiny in the show. It was originally shown on ITV's children's television strand, Children's ITV.

Plots

Going out

Often but not always the Tots would go out to explore an everyday area on the human world. This often involved them helping out a young child. This also sometimes involved them using their magic sack which they always took with them, Tiny always carried it and Tilly always operated it. When asked to help it would always produce a single item to help them in the situation.

Staying in

In all other episodes the Tots would do something in their house - the secret house. Because the full titles featured the tots leaving the house they were altered for such episodes. Often these episodes would feature one of the tots reading the other two a story. These episodes always feature the reading tot preparing to read using dolls of the characters in the story. Apparently the other two were unaware they were preparing to read a story because they would always ring them up on their personal phone to ask if they wanted to listen to a story. This was despite the fact they all lived in the same house.
