Oakie Doke is a stop-motion animated series aired by the BBC on CBBC. It also aired on CBeebies during 2002.
It is about Oakie Doke, an acorn man who is always willing to help out. The animals of the forest come to him with a problem or a dilemma and ring the bell at the bottom of his tree. He goes sliding down an enormous slide to meet them. Sometimes the situation is caused by the two mischievous squirrels Dave and Denzel.
Towards the end of each episode, after Oakie had helped solve the problem, he would say: "Well, it's like I always say...", followed by a rhyming phrase. This phrase would be in relation to the solution of the problem. This would then be greeted with approving laughter and applause from whoever was present at the time.
