Sarah & Duck (2013)

A girl in a green hat and her slightly unhinged duck spend their days on very small adventures: a picnic, a puddle, a visit to Scarf Lady. Nothing much happens, and that is exactly the charm. Roger Allam's narrator chats with Sarah, offers the odd suggestion and often just watches her work things out for herself. The humor is dry and quietly odd in a way adults enjoy, and there are no lessons hammered home; it finds its pleasure in the little things of an ordinary day. It won the BAFTA for preschool animation in 2014, and it is the show to reach for when everyone in the room needs their heart rate lowered.
