CITV

It’s Sky Rockets to the rescue as the popular children’s series transmits a run of new episodes this winter.

Hyper-daring and hyper-caring, Captain Mack is a Sky Captain. A strong, awesome and totally aspirational character, his heroic but level-headed approach makes him a natural leader. Captain Mack tells of the adventures of its eponymous hero, who performs daring deeds and flies heroic missions. Taking its inspiration from the 1960s live-action show Batman, the series features the theme of Good versus Naughty, offering three to six-year-olds their own age-appropriate hero.

CITV’s young audience will delight in Mack’s energetic approach to life, his kind and caring nature, his sense of humour and, of course, his super-fast Sky Rockets! As ever, the audience will be on the edge of their seats as the countdown begins…3, 2, 1…Blast off!

Captain Mack is on his way to save the day at Sunshine City! Unfortunately, the city has more than its fair share of naughty characters.

The Naughties, a pre-school version of baddies, include Tracy Trickster, Grabby Crabby and Marty Meddler. Imagine classic Batman villains (The Joker, Penguin and Catwoman) given a fresh pre-school twist. The troublemakers in Sunshine City aren’t evil or bent on world domination – they are just driven by desires all pre-schoolers will understand and relate to as ‘naughty’ or ‘not nice’. They lack self-control and cannot contain their tricky, meddling or acquisitive natures. They never set out to be mischievous – they just can never resist the temptation that a particular situation presents.

Captain Mack is produced by John Bullivant and Iain Russell.
