Mole Family (Köstebekgiller) (translated)

Live actors and animated characters share the same story in Köstebekgiller, a Turkish children's series on TRT Çocuk. Mixing adventure, comedy, family and fantasy, it follows a curious little girl who does not know that a family of moles lives beneath her garden. It is described as the first Turkish series to pair live performance with animation and reportedly premiered on 16 September 2010.

The story centres on Pelin, who moves into a new house. She loves reading, above all about animals and their mysterious lives; she has no idea about the moles in her own garden. The mole family is Grandfather, Mother and Father Mole, plus Boyo, Süslü and Bebi. The first neighbour Pelin meets is the naughty Caner, and the two never get along. That tension above ground reaches the world below: people walking across the garden destroy the moles' home.

The live-action cast includes İnci Türkay and Emel Çölgeçen, along with Reyhan Asena Keskinci, Yiğit Ege Yazar, Orhan Aydın, Oğuz Oktay, Ali Nuri Türkoğlu and Jess Molho. The script and editing are credited to Arzu Yurtseven and Murat Ferhat. Figures for its run disagree: one account gives three seasons and 68 episodes, another eight seasons and 104 episodes from 2010 to 2018.
