Good for them. At the risk of sounding like an Old Fart, children's TV today is crude, dire and one-dimensional compared with the golden age of Bagpuss & Co. I'll make an exception for Balamory but even that has finished now.

Forgive my ignorance, but is Uncle Bulgaria one of the Wombles?

If you watch the clip he's the one at the very end - the old, white haired womble with the tartan shawl; the Elder Womble.

So we need more homegrown childrens TV?
I note the article says:
"It said investment by ITV1, GMTV, Channel 4 and Five had halved in real terms since 1998."

I wonder where all the money has gone? The digital revolution? Paying for things they were forced by the gvt to sell off?
