BONUS EP (We're BACK IN THE LIBRARY!)

About this episode

The episode discusses the return of Bluey's Library and features interviews with key contributors.

It was November 2021 that Bluey episode Promises first put Kate and Mary in the library... and now, the Library dogs are back baby! (Or perhaps they never left?) Bluey's Library is the latest interactive offering at bluey.tv, and it's a brilliant combination of books, stories, play, and choose-your-own-adventure. And Gotta Be Done gets a starring role guiding you through! Brought to life by legends across BBC Studios, Ludo Studio and UK digital producers Jollywise, Mary and Kate chat to two of them: thanks for joining us, Connor Johnston and Will Weaver! Hear why The Adventure, Stories and Army are first up on library shelves, what Easter eggs to look for amongst the pages, how the games go beyond the screen, and what you call a library visitor (an enlightened being, obviously!)... plus strap yourselves in kids, there's so much more to come! So excited, honoured, just in happy tears to have snuck Gotta Be Done back into the Blueyverse. More about everything that led to it on the bluey.tv blog! ++ Gotta Be Done is ex-journos and Adelaide/ Melbourne mums Kate McMahon and Mary Bolling, as we deep-dive every Bluey episode, with plenty of detours into mama life, childhood memories…
