Pip, the lead character of the popular preschool show "Pip Ahoy!," met thousands of his young fans at Pontins holiday parks across the U.K. during the half-term break.

The costume character meet-and-greets started last year and will continue throughout 2015.

"Pip Ahoy" currently airs on Channel 5's Milkshake and Cartoonito in the U.K. and a 22-minute Christmas special is in the works. Lisle International represents the brand for licensing in the U.K.
