Background
Taking place in a world where almost all characters are animals, Peppa Pig revolves around the titular character and her family and friends. Each episode is approximately five minutes long. Each of her friends is a different species of animal. Peppa's friends are her age, and Peppa's younger brother George's friends are his age. Episodes tend to feature everyday activities such as attending playgroup, going swimming, visits with their grandparents, cousins, and friends, going to the playground or riding their bikes.
The characters wear clothes, live in houses, and drive cars, but still display some characteristics of the animals on which they are based. Peppa and her family enjoy jumping in muddy puddles and snort like pigs during conversations in which they are speaking English. The other animals make their respective noises when they talk, with some exhibiting other characteristics, such as the Rabbit family's squeaking sounds and enjoyment of carrots. The Rabbit and Mole families are the exceptions to the rule of human-like habitation, as they live in a burrow in a hill, though it has windows and is furnished in the same way as the other houses. The characters blush when embarrassed, and their mouths express other emotions such as sadness, happiness, irritation, bewilderment, and confusion. Although the main characters—mostly mammals—are anthropomorphic, other animal characters are not, such as Tiddles the tortoise, Polly Parrot, and the ducks. The narrator of the series, John Sparkes, reinforces the action and humour, saying things like "Oh, dear" when something unfortunate happens (such as when George starts crying) or "Look out!" when a character is doing something unsafe (such as Peppa riding her bicycle without looking where she is going). Each episode ends with visible characters falling over laughing.
Production and airing
In the United Kingdom, the first series of 52 five-minute episodes began on Channel 5 on 31 May 2004. The second series of 52 episodes began on Channel 5 on 4 September 2006, with Cecily Bloom replacing Lily Snowden-Fine as Peppa, among other cast changes. The third series started telecasting on Channel 5's preschool-targeted block Milkshake! on 4 May 2009 with Harley Bird replacing Cecily Bloom and Lily Snowden-Fine as Peppa.
In the United States, the series first aired as part of Cartoon Network's Tickle-U preschool programming block from 22 August 2005 to 2007.{{cite web |url=http://www.awn.com/news/cartoon-network-launches-tickle-u-humor-preschoolers |title=Cartoon Network Launches Tickle U To Humor Preschoolers |publisher=Animation World Network |date=22 August 2005 |access-date=23 May 2017 |archive-date=15 February 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170215132109/http://www.awn.com/news/cartoon-network-launches-tickle-u-humor-preschoolers |url-status=live}} For these airings, the show was redubbed with American actors.{{cite web |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8412610/Peppa-Pig-a-history.html |title=Peppa Pig: a history |work=The Daily Telegraph |location=London |date=29 March 2011 |access-date=9 September 2022 |archive-date=27 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221027143553/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8412610/Peppa-Pig-a-history.html |url-status=live}} However, there were no other official releases of this dub, and every US airing since 2008 uses the original British soundtrack.{{cite web |url=https://www.licenseglobal.com/archive/peppa-pig-track-us-success |title=Peppa Pig: On Track for U.S. Success |website=Licenseglobal.com |date=June 2011 |access-date=4 June 2021 |archive-date=4 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210604170804/https://www.licenseglobal.com/archive/peppa-pig-track-us-success |url-status=live}} In 2008, Peppa Pig moved to Channel 5's sister channel Noggin in the US.

The Show aired on ABC Kids in Australia, Treehouse TV in Canada, Top Channel in Albania, etc. For each episode, 5 segments are put together (though for the special containing "Golden Boots" and the episode containing "Around the World", only 3 segments are used) to make the run time 25 minutes.

Criticism and analysis
The characters of this show did not wear seat belts in cars in the first two series. After receiving several complaints, Astley Baker Davies announced that all future animation would include characters wearing seat belts, and that the relevant scenes in the first two series would be reanimated to include them.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8460753.stm |title=Peppa Pig in seatbelt safety row |publisher=BBC |date=15 January 2009 |access-date=15 January 2010 |archive-date=6 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220806233442/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8460753.stm |url-status=live}} Similar changes were also made to add cycle helmets to early episodes with characters riding bicycles.{{cite web |last=Loveday |first=Samantha |url=http://www.licensing.biz/news/6467/ABD-adds-seatbelts-to-Peppa-Pig-episodes |title=ABD adds seatbelts to Peppa Pig episodes | Latest news from the licensing industry |publisher=Licensing.biz |date=14 December 2010 |access-date=26 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120930075250/http://www.licensing.biz/news/6467/ABD-adds-seatbelts-to-Peppa-Pig-episodes |archive-date=30 September 2012 |url-status=dead}}
Peppa was used to promote the pre-2010 Labour government's Sure Start programme, which had the aim of "giving children the best possible start in life".{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/8645658.stm |work=BBC News |title=Peppa Pig moved from Labour event |date=27 April 2010 |access-date=27 April 2010 |archive-date=28 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170828105938/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/8645658.stm |url-status=live}} In April 2010, during the UK General Election campaign, E1 Entertainment said that Peppa would not attend the launch of the Labour Party's families manifesto "in the interests of avoiding any controversy or misunderstanding".
In 2012, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation received a complaint that the Series 1 episode "Mister Skinnylegs" was not appropriate for Australian audiences, as it encouraged befriending spiders; deadly venomous spiders are prevalent in Australia. The complaint was upheld, and the episode was restricted from airing on the ABC network.{{cite web |url=http://about.abc.net.au/complaints/peppa-pig-received/ |title=Complaint: Peppa Pig, (received), 6 August 2012 |website=ABC |date=24 September 2012 |access-date=30 December 2014 |archive-date=15 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140315131817/http://about.abc.net.au/complaints/peppa-pig-received/ |url-status=live}}
In late May 2014, the ABC's Mark Scott expressed fears about the future of Peppa on Australian television, given Australian federal budget cuts to ABC funding that were said to affect its ability to pay for, and broadcast, overseas media products such as Peppa Pig. Australian media noted the character's appeal to Australian toddlers and echoed concerns about the future of her Australian distribution rights. Australian Federal Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce made reference to the character as a menu item at a Thai restaurant, while conservative columnist Piers Akerman thought that Peppa "pushes a weird feminist line".{{cite news |url=http://www.theage.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/peppa-pig-held-aloft-as-sacrifice-to-god-of-prosperity-20140528-394ml.html |title=Peppa Pig held aloft as sacrifice to god of prosperity |last=Maley |first=Jacqueline |date=28 May 2014 |work=The Age |access-date=29 May 2014 |archive-date=29 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140529210217/http://www.theage.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/peppa-pig-held-aloft-as-sacrifice-to-god-of-prosperity-20140528-394ml.html |url-status=live}} On 28 May 2014, Minister for Communications Malcolm Turnbull tweeted: "Contrary to media rumours, Peppa's is one snout we are happy to have in the ABC trough".{{cite tweet |user=TurnbullMalcolm |author=Malcolm Turnbull |author-link=Malcolm Turnbull |number=471569648610078720 |date=28 May 2014 |title=Contrary to media rumours, Peppa's is one snout we are happy to have in the ABC trough.}}

The British Medical Journal carried a light-hearted article in its Christmas 2017 edition, which suggested that although the programme includes numerous "positive public health messages, encouraging healthy eating, exercise, and road safety", it ran the risk of "contributing to unrealistic expectations of primary care" by depicting general practitioner Doctor Brown Bear as making out-of-hours home visits as soon as contacted about apparently trivial illnesses, and dispensing medicines rather too freely.{{cite journal |last=Bell |first=Catherine |title=Does Peppa Pig encourage inappropriate use of primary care resources? |journal=British Medical Journal |issue=Christmas 2017 |year=2017 |volume=359 |pages=j5397 |doi=10.1136/bmj.j5397 |pmid=29229662 |s2cid=3479066}} The media company responsible for Peppa Pig offered no comment when contacted about the article by the BBC.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42322216 |title=Peppa Pig's GP visits copied by fans, says doctor |last=Westbrook |first=Ian |date=12 December 2017 |access-date=14 December 2017 |work=BBC News |archive-date=14 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171214004834/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42322216 |url-status=live}}

Since 2019, it has been observed that children in the US, where Peppa Pig had become an extremely popular programme, had been acquiring some Anglo-English, rather than American, pronunciation and vocabulary. For example, tomato and zebra are pronounced in the English, rather than American way; words such as satnav (instead of GPS), petrol (instead of gas), mummy (instead of mommy) and "biscuit" (instead of "cookie") are used; and comments such as "how clever", "Oh dear", and "can I have a go?" picked up.{{Cite news |title=Having a go: US parents say Peppa Pig is giving their kids British accents |last=Yang |first=Maya |work=The Guardian |date=19 July 2021 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/jul/19/peppa-pig-american-kids-british-accents |access-date=21 July 2021 |archive-date=21 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210721121139/https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/jul/19/peppa-pig-american-kids-british-accents |url-status=live}}{{cite web |last=Brunetti |first=Nic |date=12 February 2019 |title=Children in U.S. 'are talking with British accent because of Peppa Pig' |url=https://metro.co.uk/2019/02/12/children-in-u-s-are-talking-with-british-accent-because-of-peppa-pig-8559038/ |website=Metro |language=en |access-date=20 July 2021 |archive-date=20 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210720192533/https://metro.co.uk/2019/02/12/children-in-u-s-are-talking-with-british-accent-because-of-peppa-pig-8559038/ |url-status=live}}{{Cite news |last1=Rana |first1=Preetika |last2=Meghan |first2=Bobrowsky |date=18 July 2021 |title=Peppa Pig, a Pandemic Favorite, Has American Children Acting British |language=en-US |newspaper=the Wall Street Journal |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/peppa-pig-a-pandemic-favorite-has-american-children-acting-british-11626627266 |access-date=20 July 2021 |issn=0099-9660 |archive-date=20 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210720000522/https://www.wsj.com/articles/peppa-pig-a-pandemic-favorite-has-american-children-acting-british-11626627266 |url-status=live}} This phenomenon was not an issue for many parents; it trended with the hashtag "#PeppaEffect".
