not sure if this helps but there was a show I remember called 'Muzzy in Gondoland'. It was an educational series about this big furry alien who'd go around teaching languages. It might be a bit older than what ur looking for though.

I got to admit, the trivia on those shows was something else. I used to write them down and use them for pub quizzes. Btw, anyone knows a place where we could find the old ITV Play episodes? I'd love to watch it again.
