To date, the three seasons have all run seven-minute episodes.
Thats why Im very interested to see howThe Signgoes down with the audience.
Obviously its four times as long as a normal episode.

The Sign is one of the most anticipated episodes of kids TV in recent memory.

This is still essentially a show aimed at four-year-olds, yet weve have Lin-Manuel Miranda in, he said.
The thought ofBlueyentertaining the kids of someone like that… theres something really cool about that, he added.
Its a bit weird.
Im stoked, he said.
That success breeds speculation.
(Disney does take some merchandising revenue, it is understood.)
A deal wouldnt be cheap.
Disney declined to comment.
How the show ended up with the BBC is a fascinating tale in itself.
Specifically, Brumm wanted to create an AustralianPeppa Pigand produce it locally.
We make all the sales, theres a profit stream and everybody participates.
The web link couldnt be contacted for comment at press time.
To me,Blueyfitted well with the British television I grew up with, said Brumm.
There enough of a thread and a familiarity.
It was when the U.S. came on board thatBlueyreally started to blow up globally.
I remember Disney wasnt on the table until they were all of a sudden, he added.
Results were instantly good and the ball hasnt stopped rolling since.
Broadly, the episodes have now reverted to their original Australian state, how Brumm wanted them.
In that sense, its no wonder speculation that Disney might want more of the Heelers has grown.
Most of the episodes that have cut through with adults are based on something real, said Brumm.
An episode really wouldnt start until Id found a bit of truth like that.
I wouldnt necessarily understand it and often the episode is an exploration of that.
You love your children to death and they change you completely.
They pull your insides out.
Youll cry so much more as parents, but there is so much more reward and meaning.
Play is the main thing going on under the hood ofBluey, he said.
That would definitely make a bunch of fans very happy.
Whether thats a tacit acknowledgementBlueywill continue into the future or not isnt clear.
