Peppa Pig’s Royal Appoinkment!

Channel 5 has announced that two British icons will unite this year when Peppa Pig pays homage to the Diamond Jubilee with a special episode starring Her Majesty the Queen. It will mark the first time in the show’s history that a human character will be featured in the series.
 
In the upcoming episode, Miss Rabbit is selected to receive an award from the Queen for all the hard work she does and Peppa and friends accompany her on an unforgettable visit to the Palace where they meet the Queen.
 
This much anticipated episode will transmit on Channel 5’s milkshake! at 8.15am on Monday 4th June when the milkshake presenter will be joined in the studio by a Peppa Pig costume character for a Jubilee party! This special episode starts a run of 13 brand new Peppa Pig episodes on milkshake, weekdays at 8.15am.
 
Families keen to join in milkshake’s Jubilee celebrations at home will be able to download for free, a range of fun party and activity assets from the milkshake website channel5.com/milkshake.There will be a Peppa Pig royal themed colouring sheet, party invitation and guides to create your own cut out and keep bunting, flag and party hat. There will also be a special online Peppa Pig competition running from Monday 4th June, to coincide with the Jubilee weekend and launch of the new episodes, with lots of Peppa Pig goodies up for grabs.

Phil Davies, Producer of Peppa Pig said, “As a British production it’s only fitting that Peppa Pig pays tribute to the Queen and we couldn’t resist the opportunity to put her into the show. We hope that everyone enjoys watching the episode as much as we enjoyed making it and that it gets kids into the Jubilee party spirit!”
