Lily's Driftwood Bay is a Northern Irish 2D animated mixed-media television series for children. Produced in Northern Ireland, the series premiered on Nick Jr. in the UK and Ireland on 5 May 2014. It is created and produced by Sixteen South, based on an original idea and characters by Joanne Carmichael.[1]

Plot

An imaginative 5-year-old hunter named Lily and her Dad live in a beach hut on an otherwise deserted beach. They give the impression of a family living 'off grid' with their patched clothes and Dad's plain look - their transport is an old van, and Lily having only a seagull for friendship and most of her toys compromising of 'sea treasure' found on the beach.

In episode 35 "Goodbye Seabird" Lily is presented a framed photograph, from her father, showing a slightly younger Lily, her father and a red haired lady by her father's side. The episode deals with the death of a seabird on Driftwood Bay and a suggestion could be that Lily's mother recently died given that Lily appears only a couple of years younger in the photograph.

Characters

  • Lily: (Orlagh O’Keefe) The protagonist of the series, an imaginative 5-year-old Northern Irish sea treasure-hunting girl with a vivid imagination. Lily is always accompanied by her best friend, Gull (a Seagull) who often spies "sea treasure" that is washed up on the shore by her beach hut. Once Lily finds the sea treasure, she wonders what it could be, and gets whisked away to Driftwood Bay, an island that exists only in her imagination. During the title sequence Lily creates pictures of her animal friends with things that have washed up on the beach, which come to life on Driftwood Bay.
  • Gull: (Paul Currie) Gull is Lily's best friend who is very squawky and talkative.
  • Dad: (Richard Dormer) Lily's Dad who loves her and stays at home, always there when she returns from her adventures.

  • Bull: (Ardal O’Hanlon) Bull is an Irish bull who lives on Driftwood Bay. He is friends with a bee, simply referred to as "Bee."
  • Nonna: (Annette Crosbie) Nonna is a Scottish dog and the owner of the Cockle Cafe on Driftwood Bay, whose special recipe is "puffin muffins."
  • Lord Stag: (Stephen Fry) Lord Stag is an English stag who lives in Stag Castle on Driftwood Bay.
