Petal (voiced by Gemma Harvey) is a female piglet. [1] is a cheeky and daring young piglet who likes to think of herself as leader of the four friends. Petal is adventurous and brave and usually the first to go and investigate something new. Sometimes this gets her into trouble and at other times Petal sounds braver than Petal really feels. Petal's personality isn't girly so Petal’s just happy splashing in the mud. Her catchphrase is "Piglet Power!" The programme is set on a farm and follows the adventures of four young animals: Petal the piglet, Gobo the goat, Dash the donkey and Digger the puppy, who are called the Farmyard Bunch. [3] The storylines are told from the young animals' point of view and revolve around their emotions and the situations they find themselves in. [3] In each adventure the Farmyard Bunch explore their friendships whilst discovering their roles on the farm with help from the other farm animals. [3] Each episode constitutes an individual story, usually involving the main characters getting into some minor difficulty and pulling together to get out of that difficulty. There is no narrative thread to the episodes, each standing on its own without the need for prior understanding or any loose ends at the end.
