rdf:langString Step Inside is a British children's television programme produced by Tricorn Productions for CBeebies in 2001 before the channel's launch, and aired between February and April 2002. It last reran in July 2010. There have been no VHS or DVD releases of the show, but all of the episodes have surfaced online apart from "A Bun for Barney". The only human character in the show is Mr Mopple (portrayed by Chris Jarvis), a groundsman. Whilst doing his jobs, Mr Mopple unknowingly hears a noise from the house which tells him there must be a story to be narrated. The house magically appears to come to life with a CGI face appearing on the house. As he steps inside, a face appearing on the outside wall saying, "Step inside, all those who love stories, look, and listen, we've tales to tell, of fun, excitement, magic, adventure, tears, fears and laughter. Surprises as well. Step Inside." Inside the house are the non-human characters, which use a mix of animated faces and puppet hands: * Twinkle, an animated cat * Boris, an anthropomorphised bookcase * Chloe, an anthropomorphic clock Boris, the bookcase, provides a book, and Mr Mopple sits down to narrate the story. The characters themselves often argue among themselves, along with Mr Mopple keeping the peace. Mr Mopple provides an array of voices for every character in the book while narrating. When Mr Mopple has finished narrating the story, he leaves the magic house, (despite the face on the outside wall closing its eyes and disappearing entirely) and goes back to work.
