Pingu and his family move from their small village to the big city; in which there are many people with many different occupations. The ever-curious Pingu tries to join them at their jobs, but his mischievous side gets the better of him and he ends up messing things up. Pingu and Pinga begin figure skating after watching skaters at the rink, and as the crowd cheers them on, the two take their ice show into to the city, where the residents join in.

Notes[edit]
No official episode title appears on screen in the original series, so the lists were initially created from the titles used on various official DVD releases. The main episode titles for series 1 to 4 were taken from the official Japanese DVD releases and the alternative titles from the official European DVD releases, as well as titles used on BBC VHS releases. Episode titles for series 5 and 6 were taken from the European DVD releases. Changes have subsequently been made to these titles to bring them more into line with English usage and practice (e.g. to correct spelling and grammar) and to relate them to the titles used on UK DVDs produced by HIT Entertainment. Alternative titles have also been appropriately added, amended, etc. Title data have also been supplemented with information from other sources, such as the titles used by the BBC for television broadcasts and on video tapes.
In the UK, the BBC appears never to have broadcast any of the normal 5-minute episodes from the latter half of series 3 (3.14 – 3.26) or from series 4 (4.1 – 4.26).[2] However, all the episodes from the latter half of series 3 (3.14 - 3.26) have been featured on BBC produced videos. Of the episodes that have been broadcast, all have been broadcast since 4 September 2006 inclusive.
Pingu In The City Episode 9
- Since 2007, in addition to standalone episodes the BBC, Nick Jr and APTN in Canada have been showing The Pingu Show ('Pingu welcomes viewers to his secret whale-shaped funhouse for a show packed with brand new sketches, two classic episodes, narrated by Marc Silk and the chance to learn more about the amazing world of penguins in Penguin Facts').[3]
Episodes of Pingu in the City have their names taken from Romanized versions of their Japanese names.

The mischievous and curious Pingu makes a big effort to help the citizens with their jobs, but often messes up.

In the United States, the show was first screened at the Chicago International Television Festival[5] and the 2018 Animation Block Party.[6] A second season premiered from October 6, 2018 (which was before the 1st anniversary of the show) to March 30, 2019.[7] In the United Kingdom, the show premiered on February 25, 2019 on ITVBe's preschool block LittleBe.
