Cast

Despite the show being produced for the UK market (as the series was semi-redubbed for the UK market), only Lorraine Parsloe reprises her role as Ziggy, due to his segments being produced in the United Kingdom itself. The original American voice actors for the puppets reprise their voice roles in the series. However, in the ''Action Time!'' version, Guðmundur Þór Kárason reprises as Ziggy.
