Episode synopsis
Baby Jake plays ball with a snowball football and is joined by Pengy Quin. Baby Jake kicks the snowball through the air and onto the top of a snow capped mountain - very high up. Baby Jake and Pengy Quin catch a fairground-style chair lift to the top of the mountain and jump off just in time to land on the large snowball. Together they log-roll the snowball back down the mountain slope doing lots of ski jumps and slalom tricks along the way.
About Baby Jake
Baby Jake is a children's television programme originally broadcasting in the UK. It first aired on 4 July 2011. The show features a child narrator and all ten children are depicted in real life, although Baby Jake is given a multi-angle photographic face on an animated body. Jake's babbling is translated by his 5-year-old brother Isaac. Isaac is voiced by a real-life 5-year-old boy, in a move described by the Guardian as "a risk" since the majority of successful children's television is narrated by adults. The roles of Jake and Isaac are portrayed by real-life brothers Adamo and Franco Bertacchi-Morroni respectively, with Kaizer Akhtar providing the voice of Isaac.
