Strange Hill High Launches!
Strange Hill High is CBBC’s innovative new animated comedy, voiced by Emma Kennedy, Richard Ayoade, and Ben 'Doc Brown' Smith, with Caroline Aherne and John Thomson. Josh Weinstein (The Simpsons/Futurama) is the series showrunner with music composed by Paul Lovatt-Cooper.

Strange Hill High, an all-but-forgotten inner-city school filled with fantastical secrets and outlandish mysteries, has been created using ‘hypervynorama’, a groundbreaking new animation technique that combines Japanese vinyl toy design and puppetry with stop-motion animation and computer generated imagery (CGI).

The 13x22-minute series follows the quick-witted and street smart Mitchell Tanner (Doc Brown), the new kid at school and his two new besties, ever-confident Becky Butters (Emma Kennedy) and class nerd Templeton (Richard Ayoade). The three intrepid Year 7s set out to investigate the strange, mysterious, and often other-worldly occurrences at their school.

The show follows the trio as they explore Strange Hill High, uncovering the absurd and outrageous, from the evil Tooth Fairy, to Sir Bogivere, a vigilant Knight and guardian of an ancient Arthurian lavatory.

A funny, clever and contemporary adventure, Strange Hill High sees the students attempt to solve the mysteries of their strange school, with hilarious results. It’s weird, it’s cool, it’s school!
