Pic Me
Irish children's television show
Pic Me (or PICME) is an Irish interactive preschool children's animated television series that premiered on 1 August 2005 on RTÉ, later airing on TG4 and Nick Jr. channels throughout Europe. HIT Entertainment held worldwide distribution rights. Since mid-2008, episodes of Pic Me have aired in the United States on Animania HD and Sprout. Also, in the United States, a Spanish-dubbed version airs on V-Me.
Format
Episodes of Pic Me last for approximately five to ten minutes. Pic Me is an innovative show in that it allows its viewers to star in each episode. Every episode has one viewer's photograph superimposed on a cartoon child's body. These characters then roam around the story, walking, running, jumping, and physically interacting with the main cartoon characters. The viewer characters neither speak, nor do the characters refer to them by each of their names.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Pic Me” as irish children's television show. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as irish children's television show. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7190451. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005 and 2008.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
