Cúla4 6-12 year olds 
Mo Shaol Do Shaol 
A series where we take two people who are totally different from one another & make them swap hobbies and lives for a day....AND they have to complete an incredibly difficult challenge before the day is out. We have two new contestants in every episode and we focus on the wide range of pastimes & hobbies young people in Ireland have today. We have it all - Judo, Ice-Hockey, Cricket & much much more. There is a good chance our contestants will have no interest (or knowledge) in their new hobby but they'll have to learn quickly! The results will be electrifying. 

Is Eolaí Mé - watch on cula4.com
A fun and energetic science series presented by Peadar Ó Goill from his attic science lab.  
Each episode is based on various topics, ranging from gravity to forensics. Peadar gets to prove his theories by kite surfing, visiting wind turbines etc. Young guests join Peadar to test experiments and also go head-to-head in a science challenge. Úna Ní Fhlatharta reports from various locations giving us a glimse of places of interest e.g Birr Castle, Blackrock Observatory to name a few. We also meet An t-Ollamh Ullamh (The ever ready Professor) and his assistant Aodh in short B&W silent skits. 
​Adventure Time 
Twelve- year-old Finn battles evil in the Land of Ooo. Assisted by his magical dog, Jake, Finn roams the Land of Ooo righting wrongs and battling evil. Usually that evil comes in the form of the Ice King, who is in search of a wife. He's decided he should 
wed Princess Bubblegum, though she doesn't want to marry him. Still, he persists in trying to steal her away, and Finn and Jake, along with Lady Raincorn (a cross between a unicorn and a rainbow) do their best to keep her from harm.
