However they are longer in length than the programmes so that is some compensation, together with the games and other extras which are also included. I bought the Balamory Seeking Santa DVD as a birthday gift for my now 2 year old daughter and also to help her get excited for Santa coming. The DVD is really good and has kept her entertained for hours. The only problem is that she doesn't like it when mammy has to turn it off!

I was absolutely over the moon when I won this item as it has become increasingly difficult to buy Balamory DVD's and other related items in the shops. Edie McCredie (played by Juliet Cadzow) is the Balamory Bus Driver. She has travelled all over the world and has a variety of photographs and souvenirs to talk about. She is also an expert driver and motor mechanic and occasionally gets exasperated with other road users. She has a video camera which has been put to use should the occasion arise, notably in 'The Wedding' and 'Indian Wedding'. Her main colour is blue and she lives in a blue garage/house. The show has seen two live tours that were held in Arenas across the United Kingdom, being co-productions with BBC Worldwide and DC Entertainment. One of the other characters (who will be the main character of that episode) tells Miss Hoolie about a problem. This character then sings "Which Coloured House Are We Going To?", asking the young viewers to guess which of the Balamory characters will be most helpful in solving the problem. The main character then proceeds to visit several other characters until the problem is solved. Miss Hoolie and the main character provide a summary of the story at each point, and a final recap at the end of the episode.To celebrate the show's 20th anniversary, 25 episodes from Series 4 were added to BBC iPlayer on 30 August 2022.
