Poko is a stop-motion children's show about a young boy, his pet dog and his toy monkey. It was made by Eraser Dog Productions for Salter Street Films in 2003.

Poko is a young boy. Every day, he plays in his little house, or out in the garden. He has a magic finger. When he says "Poko pippity pop!", he gains the ability to draw objects, by tracing in the air with his finger, which then become real. Poko often encounters problems and gets cranky or upset, but then cheers up with the help of the narrator.

Minus is Poko's pet dog. He is very playful, and often causes trouble. Although he can't always understand what is going on, he sometimes shows much more human like behaviour, such as being able to walk on his hind feet, play soccer, or dance. He is most likely named for the fact he can erase some objects from existence (usually Poko's creations, when they aren't needed anymore) with his nose, using it like an eraser.

Mr. Murphy, the toy monkey, usually just sits around, but can sometimes be seen to have moved his hands (such as to shrug, or cover his eyes), but is never seen actually moving. However, he does star in the "Mighty Murph" story each episode.

The Narrator generally describes what is going on, and helps to cheer up Poko when he becomes sad or angry.

Main episodes

There are two in each show. The first one is indoors, after Poko wakes up. The second is outdoors, in the garden. In both, Poko encounters a problem, but usually overcomes it after observing a smaller creature (such as a bird, ladybug, worm, etc.) solving a similar problem.

Play sequence

These are 30 second (approx.) shorts where Poko and Minus (and sometimes Mr.Murphy) play against a monocolour background (suggesting they are no longer in the house). They may be swimming, surfing, riding an imaginary Roller coaster, or doing other activities.

Mighty Murph

In the middle of each show, Poko reads a Mighty Murph story. Each one is made using Macromedia Flash, in cartoon style, and involves a baby Mr. Murphy in some dilemma, such as being hungry, or having nowhere to play. He then imagines he is Mighty Murph, and flies around to find a solution to his problem. He search is fruitless, and he realises the best place is just where he is, as his own self. The stories are told by the narrator.

The show follows the same sequence every time:
