"Bod" is a British children's television programme first shown in 1975, with thirteen episodes, based on four original "Bod" books by Joanne and Michael Cole. It is an animated cartoon series narrated by John Le Mesurier and Maggie Henderson with music by Derek Griffiths and produced by David Yates. The four books were published in 1965 in the United Kingdom and later in the United States and France. They are: "Bod's Apple", "Bod's Present", "Bod's Dream" and "Bod and the Cherry Tree".

The character of Bod is a boy who lives in a town with Aunt Flo, PC Copper, Frank the Postman and Farmer Barleymow. Each of the characters has their own theme music performed by Griffiths which is heard when they appear.

Before the animated series was commissioned, the four books had been read on another BBC children's programme: "Play School". In 1974, thirteen five-minute episodes were created for transmission on the BBC as part of the "Watch with Mother" series, and were also sold to Australia's ABC channel. Soon thereafter, it was shown in New Zealand, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Poland and Israel. In the United States, "Bod" aired on Nickelodeon as a segment on the "Pinwheel" program.
