RTÉjr has announced its line-up of programming for the new season, including a new talent show with Donncha O’Callaghan, plus animation, science and travel series.

‘Donncha’s Two Talented’ is a brand new family entertainment show hosted by rugby legend Donncha O’Callaghan. Every episode showcases the best of Irish 5 – 9 year olds singing and dancing talent with a twist; every child star must coax a grown-up to duet with them on the show. Produced by Adare Productions for RTÉ, the show will air on RTÉjr weekdays from next Monday, 8 October, and will also air on RTÉ One from this Saturday.

Also kicking off on RTÉjr next Monday is ‘Let’s Find Out’, RTÉjr’s new science series for 5 to 7 year olds.  The series is set on the space-ship ‘Curiosity’ – a travelling laboratory captained by alien puppet ‘Zoom’, ably assisted by presenter/scientists Mark Langtry and Ciara Murphy. Mark is a physicist and Ciara is a biochemist. Together they explore science questions posed by children. ‘Let’s Find Out’ is co-funded by RTÉ and Science Foundation Ireland and is produced by stop.watch productions.

In ‘Peek Zoo’, Michael McElhatton plays zookeeper Mr. Peek on a series of adventures with his two children, Jimmy and Violet, as they look after the loud colourful animals of ‘Peek Zoo’.  With a warm and engaging cast of characters, humans and animals, ‘Peek Zoo’ is a series of hilarious adventures that will make children laugh, think and learn, with problems to solve and mysteries to unravel. Produced by Igloo Films for RTÉ, with support from BAI and Screen Ireland.

In ‘Wild Kids’, teams of nature-mad kids join wildlife experts Kealan Doyle, Ciara Dolan, Sarah Sarsfield and John Lusby to explore different habitats up and down the country from coast to city, discovering the plants, animals, bugs and bees that live around us. Produced by GMarshTV.

‘Living with a Fairy’ sees storyteller Jay, whose life gets turned upside down when a mysterious fairy comes to live with him. Produced by GMarshTV for pre-schoolers and supported by the BAI.

‘Mya Go’ is back for more exciting adventures with the Go family and her best pal Doggy Go, Exploring and discovering the world around her. Made by Piranha Bar in Dublin and Motion Pic in Spain with support from Screen Ireland and BAI, ‘Mya Go’ is an animation series for pre-school children.  

abraKIDabra RTÉjr's magnificent  magic show is also back for another series.  Each week magician Joe Daly performs comedic and mesmerising magic tricks for an animated audience of kids. Joe can also be found in his magic workshop teaching budding magicians a cool new trick. Produced by Macalla Teo.

A new travel series ‘JourneyCam’, produced by Dyehouse Films, began in September and viewers can catch its second outing in October. It’s all about the world around us as seen through the eyes and adventures of young children. Filmed by, and featuring children from all over Ireland, ‘JourneyCam’ takes a closer look at the way the built environment works and the way children interact with the world as they go about their daily journeys.
