Based on the semiautobiographical picture book Jo-Jo and Gran-Gran, All in a Week by Laura Henry-Allain, JoJo And Gran Gran is the first animated series to centre on a black British family. Featuring the voice of Taiya Samuel as JoJo and Cathy Tyson as Gran Gran, the series focuses on a four-year-old girl’s relationship with her fun and wise grandmother.
Produced in-house for CBeebies and already the recipient of a major recommission, one judge praised the show’s production values and said the slice of modern British life “brilliantly connects to children through relatable storylines and relationships”, adding: “Plus it’s a lot of fun!” Another judge praised the way each episode features a short live-action segment with real children that mirrors the animated story.
