Another episode with the song Hot Potato from the Melbourne Sports & Entertainment Centre concert was released as part of the second disc pack in the Playskool VideoNow Jr. set in 2005 with the Series One episode Foodman. Those releases have made it online and can be viewed on YouTube. Four more episodes that feature songs from Wiggle Time and Yummy Yummy were included in the promotional DVD "Introducing... The Wiggles" that was only released in the United Kingdom in 2004. All episodes from the DVD have made it online. The "Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car" episode was included as a video exclusive on the compilation album Pop Jr TV Songs that was released in the United Kingdom in 2008. The "Big Red Car", "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" and "I Climb Ten Stairs" episodes on the other hand were released as part of the Wiggly Circus PC game that was released in 1999. Recordings of the episodes original airings are also very rare with very little of said recordings surfacing. | ||
In August 2022, the group uploaded a large majority of the episodes containing songs from the Melbourne Sports & Entertainment Centre concert. However, We Like To Say Hello was not among the songs uploaded. The upload confirms that the group still have the series in their archives. | |||

Latest revision as of 08:46, 9 August 2024
Let's Wiggle is a short series created by the Australian children's group The Wiggles. It premiered on Disney Channel in Australia on July 1, 1997 (a year before the group's eponymous television series would premiere)[1][2] and would also air in Canada on TVO's children's block TVOKids on September 5, 2000[3] until August 31, 2004[4] and on TV3 in New Zealand (exact years it aired on is unknown). It also aired on the Seven Network in between airings of their eponymous television series. It's unknown if the show ever aired in the United States. The show mostly showcases songs the group did from various videos they released, concerts they performed and television shows they did. The amount of episodes that were made is unknown as many episodes or specific airdates are unaccounted for as they would typically air early in the morning.
Some songs from the series were performed at the Melbourne Sports & Entertainment Centre in November 1997, while the majority of the songs in the series would be performed on sound stages.

The "Big Red Car", "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" and "I Climb Ten Stairs" episodes on the other hand were released as part of the Wiggly Circus PC game that was released in 1999. Recordings of the episodes original airings are also very rare with very little of said recordings surfacing.
In August 2022, the group uploaded a large majority of the episodes containing songs from the Melbourne Sports & Entertainment Centre concert. However, We Like To Say Hello was not among the songs uploaded. The upload confirms that the group still have the series in their archives.
