angels of jarm
it was him! (7/40)

Continuing on Milkshake! today is the colourful animation set in the fictional town of Jarm. The action takes place in a playgroup populated by young children of various different skin colours, religions and backgrounds. When the children encounter everyday problems –like fights over toys or prayers –an angel comes down from the clouds to help, travelling via the rainbow-coloured Celestial Highway. A host of familiar voices can be heard throughout the series, as the Milkshake! presenters lend their vocal talents to the characters.

The Angels –Ellie, Mick and Rafe –live in a silver bullet caravan above a cloud with their leader, Gabrielle. Sharing attributes from different faiths, the Angels live in harmony and know exactly what to do to prevent conflict in the Jarm playgroup.

With a multi-faith focus on morality, the series covers every aspect of life, emphasizing that diversity and difference are to be welcomed. Each episode is packed with stories, songs and fun!
