Guys, I did a quick google search on this numtum thing, and here's what I found from Wikipedia's (autistic) article on this.
The Numtums is a British computer-animated children's television series created by Barry Quinn for CBeebies.[1] It is about a group of 10 creatures called the Numtums, each with a number on their tummies. The show debuted on CBeebies in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2012,[1] and ended on 15 December 2014[2] with a total of 3 series.
Plot[edit]
The Numtums is about a group of 10 multicolored creatures who live in Gumnut Gorge called the Numtums with numbers on their tummies. The Numtums are based on numbats, hence their fondness for eating termites in their café, the Tasty Termite, and they are named after Australian towns, except Champer. Bizarrely, the environment in which they live (featuring saguaro cacti, mesas and rock arches) appears to be more akin to the Colorado plateau and sonora deserts in the southwest United States than any part of Australia.
