Rubbadubbers is a British stop-motion children's television series produced by HIT Entertainment and HOT Animation. The series was broadcast in the UK on BBC2 and CBeebies from 15 January 2003 to 14 February 2005. Created by Peter Curtis, it focuses on seven friendly, sentient bath toys as they tell stories in imaginary worlds outside of their bathroom - the ringleader in the series being a pink frog named Tubb. In the US, the series was broadcast on Nickelodeon, Noggin and PBS Kids Sprout.
The series was originally announced under the working title "Plugg" (an early name for the character of Tubb). BBC started commissioning the show in 2002 after two lost pilots were made: "Plugg" from 1999 and "Splish Splash Splosh!" from 2001. It is unknown if these pilots even exist, but an animator has stated that they did some test animations. Hasbro licensed Rubbadubbers for producing a toy line to promote the series.
