BACK FROM THE GRAVE
The multi award winning animated series Grizzly Tales has been re invented for Nickelodeon UK. The 26 new ten minute episodes are based on the recent series of books written by Jamie Rix and published by Orion. The new series is to be broadcast from Aprill 2011, following the success of the re runs of the 79 original episodes in 2010.
The original six series ran from 2000 to 2006 on ITV1 and Grizzly Tales was consistently one of the highest rated children’s animation shows on the channel with the special episode, A Grizzly New Year’s Tale hitting No 2 in the Broadcast kids chart.
The BAFTA nominated show picked up many awards including Animated Series and Children’s Choice at the British Animation Awards, and Children’s Animated series at Cartoons on the Bay. The original book, Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids, was a Smarties prize winner.

New Job
I've got a new job. Night Night Porter at the famous Hot Hell Darkness. Readers of the books will be excited to hear that when I comeback to TV, I'll have ditched the Squeam Screen in favour of this No Star establishment.
