Season 6 was first broadcasted on both CBeebies, BBC One and BBC Two from January 3, 2005 to March 3, 2006. Season 6 is the second and the final season to be produced by both Hot Animation and HiT Entertainment as a whole. Season 6 is also the final season of the original stop-motion animated television series, Pingu.
Following taxation in the UK making stop-motion expensive overtime, a seventh series was not greenlit.
This series later aired in Wales from December 1, 2014 to January 9, 2015.
