Each of the ten 3-minute episodes features the hit family musical act "The Go!Go!Go! Show". Starring the core cast members including the sock-snarfing Fluffalope, the bespoke shorts will feature follow-along dance routines and original music written by UK pop supremos Mike Stock and Steve Crosby. Acting not only as on-channel continuity, the series will also be a vibrant live-action representation of the Nick Jr. brand.

The Go!Go!Go! Show, launched in 2010, has received outstanding reviews and to date has completed over 100 live performances in London's West End and on tour around Britain. The show features a cast of six: Carl, Gemma, Jade, Holly, Steve, the inquisitive Mr. Baffled and Fluffalope performing a unique and interactive mix of pop music, dance and comedy. The live show experience has been translated to create specific content for Nick Jr. to encourage audience interaction and physical movement. With songs incorporating themes such as fitness, friendship and healthy eating, the Go! Go! Go! interstitial spots will cover all of the Nick Jr. day parts, changing from lively morning songs to calming before bedtime segments. Embedded into the continuity of the Nick Jr. schedule, the Go! Go! Go! spots will announce upcoming programming as well as providing a human face for the channel.

Directed by Nickelodeon UK's Director of Original Production, David Kangas, the interstitials have been produced by the Nickelodeon Creative Services team under Nick UK's Creative Director Peter Drake. As well as adapting existing The Go! Go! Go! Show content, Mike Stock and Steve Crosby have penned brand new songs for the Nick Jr. interstitials.
