In 2007, an older version of the Hey Duggee (named "Chop Chop!" at the time) pilot was produced. However, instead of being a CBeebies show, the show was instead meant to be on the Nick Jr. block. However, like the 2012 version, this pilot's existence is unconfirmed.

Characters[]

  • Tag: Tag is a small rhino. He is very sweet natured but sometimes a little distracted. He has a thick skin, which is just as well as he is quite clumsy and often bumps into things. If there's something to trip over, it will more than likely be Tag who does the tripping.
  • Roly: Roly is a round hyper-active piglet. He competes with Iddy to be the first to answer a question or get somewhere, but due to a mix of being energetic & restlessness he usually answers the question too quickly, or gets it wrong. He is a very horrible interrupter, calling out when he should be listening. Chop Chop is always very patient with him though.
  • Norrie: Norrie is a wombat. She is very chatty and giggly. She is also very fast, but tends to go the wrong way and then has to catch up with everyone else. She has a habit of of saying exactly what she's doing. If she is running she will continuously say "Running, running, running" - until she stops - then of course she says "Stopping!"
  • Al: Al is a small, happy crocodile. He obviously loves anything that involves water, if there's a puddle he'll splash in it. He also has a habit of making a low mumbling sound that everyone else can hear but him.
  • Iddy: Iddy is a jolly little Octopus. She is very clever, athletic and attentive. She is always the first one to pay attention to Chop Chop. She can be somewhat competitive though, and has been known to sulk if she's not the first.
  • Zach: Zach is a zebra. He is the youngest of all the Squirrels, but is also the most playful. If there's any toy lying around on the floor, Zach will likely be the first one to play with it. He also has a habit of walking in circles instead of following the other Squirrels, saying "Oops!" when he stops and catches up to the other Squirrels.

Similarities[]

  • Both pilots have Roly as a pig instead of a hippo.
  • Norrie was a wombat in both pilots.
  • Duggee (named Chop Chop at the time) still existed in both pilots.
  • Betty was named Iddy in both pilots.

Differences[]

  • Bertie, a bear, wasn't a main character. Instead, Zach, a zebra, was originally going to be the sixth Squirrel. However, both characters were removed from the show, helping make the current group of five Squirrels.
  • Pov's name was Al.
  • Roly's trousers were green instead of blue.
  • One sentence is missing from Roly's character description, with it being added in his 2012 pilot character description.
  • Speaking of Roly's character description, the 2007 version is slightly different.
