Bump was a television programme aimed at young children, created by Charlie Mills and Terry Brain, the duo behind CMTB Animation. It was a cartoon that featured an elephant named Bump and a bluebird named Birdie. The first series was broadcast in 1990 and the second in 1994. The two series ran a total of 22 episodes, each 5 minutes long. In 1994 there was a Christmas special which was 10 minutes in length. The programme was narrated by Simon Cadell.

Bump was known to be very clumsy, a trait that was emphasised by a bandage featured on his forehead. Birdie would often give Bump advice on how he could become more graceful. Bump and Birdie regularly encountered animals that had a problem and would help them to find a solution. Most of these animals were recurring characters.
