About Button Moon

Button Moon follows Mr and Mrs Spoon and daughter Tina landing on Button Moon by soup powered spaceship. Thames Television made seven series of 13 ten minute episodes each. Series 1 ran December 1980 to March 1981 from Three Little Pigs to House For Sale. Series 7 ran September to December 1988 from Boat Race to The Snoring Princess.

Creator Ian Allen toured a stage show in the 1990s. Repeats ran on UK Gold from 1993 and Nick Jr Classics. Full 91 arrived on ITVX Premium in June 2024 with Complete Collection DVD in September 2024. No eighth series was made.

Good to know

Watch series 1 to 7 in broadcast order. Start with the 1980 pig and witch hours, continue through Egbert and Blanket Sky years, then finish the 1988 boat and panto run. Episodes stand alone with the telescope launch each time. The stage show reuses stories rather than adding canon. Keep 1 to 7 for the full 91.
