The Playgroup is a sixth episode of the first season of "Peppa Pig".
Synopsis[]
Peppa Pig heads to her playgroup, but George will be joining for the first time and she isn't very happy about it.
Summary[]
Daddy Pig is taking Peppa and George to their playgroup. It's George's first day and he's very excited to go, but Peppa is concerned that he may be too small. Daddy Pig assures her that it's fine though, since he will have Peppa and Mr. Dinosaur to keep him company. But Peppa doesn't really want to keep him company, because she wants to play with her friends instead. When they arrive, Peppa asks again if George will really be okay. But when Daddy shows that he doesn't plan on reconsidering she has no choice but to accept it.
Inside, Peppa introduces everyone to George, and to her surprise the others seem interested in getting to know him. Suzy wishes that she could have a little brother, while Danny is interested in his toy dinosaur; even Madame Gazelle seems to enjoy George's company.

Seeing as everyone likes George, Peppa starts to feel proud of him. Madame Gazelle then has everyone sit down for painting. Peppa doesn't think George can do this, so Madame Gazelle suggests Peppa show him how to do it. Peppa scolds George for not painting a flower like her, but a dinosaur instead. Madame Gazelle comes by with the other students to see what Peppa and George painted, and because everyone enjoys the paintings she decides to hang them both on the wall.
Soon it's time for everyone to leave as the parents arrive to pick them up. Peppa asks if George can return next time and Madame Gazelle agrees. She asks George what he will paint next time and he replies "dinosaur", earning some comments from the other kids, and soon everyone starts to laugh.

Trivia[]
- This is the first episode:
- Where Mummy Pig does not appear.
- To not begin or take place at Peppa's House.
- Where Peppa goes to Playgroup.
- George visits somewhere for the first time.
- This episode has the most characters appear up to this point; in total, there were 14.
- Peppa thought George was going to copy her when she talked about painting a big circle. That’s why she mentioned the colour after George used green instead of pink.
- The continuity between this episode and Ballet Lesson can be deemed as confusing at best. In the latter, Peppa had met Madame Gazelle for the first time; yet in this episode, Peppa acts as if she had never met her. It could be that this episode takes place after the latter, but for sure, this is unknown.
Goofs[]
- In the textless version, the English text can be seen.
- George has blue paint, but it is unknown where he got it from.
- When George finished his painting, he dotted his eye in brown colour even though he was using blue paint.
- When Madame Gazelle comes to see Peppa and George's painting, the yellow chair is positioned downward a little bit.
- When the episode begins, the title reads "The Playgroup", but during the credits, it reads "Playgroup".
