- "Jakers!"
- ―Piggley's catchphrase
Piggley Winks is the son and eldest child of Padrig and Elly Winks, the older brother of Molly, the father of Ciara, the grandfather of Meg, Sean and Seamus, the best friend of Ferny Toro and Dannan O'Mallard and is the main protagonist of Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks. He is voiced by Maile Flanagan as a child and Peadar Lamb as an adult.
Throughout each episode Piggley is seen as a 8 (later 9) year-old pig living on Raloo Farm in the village of Tara in Ireland during the 1950s with his family and has adventures with his friends Ferny and Dannan. In the episode "Rock Around the Cluck", Piggley discovers Rock and Roll (which emerged during the 1950s) and formed a band with Ferny and Dannan called The Raloo Rockers.
At the start and end of each episode it shows a now elderly Piggley living in America (or England in the UK version) with his daughter Ciara and her children Meg, Sean and Seamus who Piggley tells his childhood adventures to. At the end of each episode, Piggley would break the fourth wall by looking to the viewers and winking at them.
In the two-part episode "Wish Upon a Story", Piggley celebrates his birthday and is visited by a now adult Ferny (who serves as an honorary uncle to Meg, Sean and Seamus).
