Further details
It's the hottest day ever and Zig and Zag can't cool down - that is until Mr Cool appears in his ice cream van! Taken by its cooling effects, Zig and Zag join a long queue to taste this stuff called ice cream. When they finally get to the hatch, Mr Cool informs them that he's sold out!
Their quest to taste ice cream is all-consuming, and the boys dash to the mini-mart only to find that they too are sold out. Nellie however does have super cool winter sports gear that she is desperate to sell before getting out to enjoy the fine weather! But not even this distracts Zig and Zag from their ice crea-mission?

Press
Having had something of a career hiatus since reaching dizzy heights as 90s icons, the ragga-loving puppets are back with an animated series. The new Zig and Zag have a bouncy Ricky Wilson theme tune and their first adventure finds them eating breakfast-flavoured ice-cream on the hottest day ever. There are laughs and mayhem to make their colourful new incarnation appeal to little brothers and sisters, but nostalgic adults will crave the more irreverent years.
