The BBC have released the following statement:
“It is with regret that we confirm the death this morning of Anton Turner, 38, on location in Tanzania. Anton was the expedition guide for the filming of an episode of the CBBC series Serious Explorers which was tracing the footsteps of Livingstone’s famous journey in Africa. We understand at this stage that he was charged by an elephant and was mortally injured. A doctor was travelling with the expedition and treated Anton at the scene, but we understand that Anton died shortly after the incident.
Sarah Jane has met Peter Dalton and wants him to become part of her life, as the adventure series continues; perhaps he could become a father to Luke. But Clyde suspects that Peter is hiding a secret or two, especially when he and Rani find an empty house where Peter says his home should be.
The BBC today released the first image of the animated Doctor as he will appear in the new animation, Dreamland, which is due for broadcast later this year.
The six-part series will be premièred via the BBC Red Button on BBC One and the Doctor Who website.
The 45-minute long animation will be broadcast in its entirety on CBBC on BBC Two this autumn and also on the BBC HD channel.
Ever wonder how the guys of Mystery Inc first got together? Well think no more. Cartoon Network is bringing us a new movie this autumn titled Scooby Doo: The Mystery begins which will see the gang meet and tackle their first ever case.
I’m not sure how this will compare to the Freddie P and Sarah Michelle Gellar movie, but no doubt the kids will love it.
TV channel Watch has announced that it “will let the kids take control in its new tea-time commission” for a show to be entitled, ‘Tarrant Lets the Kids Loose’.
Presented by Tiswas entertainer and Who Wants to be Millionaire host Chris Tarrant, the eight-part series will give three- to six-year-olds the green light to fulfil their greatest ambitions in the adult world; whether that’s running a photographic studio, a radio station or an ice-cream van!
Chris Tarrant said of the new series, “They say never work with kids or animals. But you know what? They’re wrong! Kids are funny, magical and always surprising. Read more & comment »
Following on from the huge success of Emu’s recent return to the small screen, CiTV has commissioned a further 26 episodes of the kid’s comedy series. The series will air on ITV1 on weekends, then repeat weekdays on the CiTV channel.
Aimed at children aged 5- 8 years, the new series of Emu is set in a kid’s Craft Café. Toby Hull (son of the late, great Rod Hull) will return as Emu’s loyal sidekick. Toby and Emu have set up the café for the summer – it’s a place where kids can discover their creativity as well as enjoy some healthy snacks. However, with Emu behind the scenes there is plenty of opportunity for glorious mayhem and mess!
There’s a heat wave down in Bikini Bottom and SpongeBob and his friend, Squidward, are struggling to work so Mr Krabs decides it’s time they hit the beach down at Goo Lagoon with Patrick and Sandy.
I was recently messing about on t’internet, as you do, and came across details of a kid’s show entitled Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! So this got me wondering how many other shows have similarly ludicrous titles or content… and there are quite a few of them, so I thought I’d share just a few of my findings with you lovely peeps!
So let’s start with Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! It’s a cartoon that’s set mainly on the fictional planet of Shugazoom which follows the adventures of five robotic monkeys and a human boy named Chiro as they struggle to protect their planet – and the rest of the universe – from the forces of evil. Yes, it really is as bad as it sounds too. It’s one of those annoying anime things where they constantly shout and their mouths form huge O shapes when they ’speak’. But there’s more weirdness than that even… Read more & comment »
Without doubt, the fact that Cerrie Burnell – who has a deformed arm and is missing a hand – has prompted complaints to be made to the BBC claiming that she’s “frightening” children is SO ridiculous, it’s hard to find sufficient adjectives; ludicrous, ridiculous, preposterous, absurd… I could go on ad infinitum; the whole thing is truly pathetic but perhaps the most fitting might be ‘outrageous’.
Cerrie, who co-presents Cbeebies ‘Do And Discover’ with Alex Winters, has been accused of causing young children “sleep problems” – one assumes in the form of nightmares – and apparently, parents find it unpalatable to have to discuss disability with their children “before they are ready to hear it” according to the BBC news website.
Well boohoo and tough t*t! Guess what? Not everyone’s born ‘perfect’. Does it make them lesser people? No. Does the fact that some people feel the need to negatively comment on it make them lesser people? Hell yes… Read more & comment »
The BBC have ordered staff to look back over old episodes of the Teletubbies to make sure they don’t break any rules.
In their fear over another huge scandal, the TV channel are checking out episodes of all their old shows to ensure that standards are met, though it seems a little strange that they are putting such emphasis on one in which the characters can’t even speak!
As you probably know, Tony Hart, one of Britain’s best loved artists and children’s TV presenters died in the early hours of Sunday morning so as a tribute to Tony, here’s a look back at his life and career.
Tony graduated from Maidstone Art College in 1950 and went on to his first job as a display artist for a West End store. However, his creativity didn’t have any real outlet there so he became a freelance artist and, in the tradition of struggling artists, Tony lived in a grotty basement flat and in exchange for meals, he painted murals on restaurant walls.

Hollywood A lister Johnny Depp, has reportedly signed up to voice a SpongeBob SquarePants character.
The New York Daily News reported that the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor will play a surf guru called Jack Kahuna Laguna in an episode titled SpongeBob vs. The Big One.
Upsy Daisy as she appears on TV
The BBC have been forced issue a darker skinned Upsy Daisy doll after they received numerous complaints about the light skinned doll.
A BBC Worldwide spokesman has reported that the channel received numerous complaints that the doll, from the hit CBeebies show ‘In The Night Garden’, did not properly represent her character.
The spokesman added that while the doll will not be taken off the shelves “because most people are happy with it”, a new model with “a darker skin tone” will be on sale from Easter.
Upsy Daisy Plush Doll
A statement from Ragdoll Productions, the company behind the show, said: “The characters are toys, not representations of people. The culture they collectively embody is unique to the garden setting in which they live.”
Pictures of both the character and the doll are included above and as you can see there is a significant difference between the two’s colouring. I have no idea why the BBC would make a move like this, but any suggestions will be gratefully received.
