CBeebies is set to get green fingers with the acquisition of Gordon The
Garden Gnome from UK independent animation house, Collingwood O'Hare Entertainment.
The pre-school series features gardener and housewife's favourite Alan
Titchmarsh as the voice of Gordon, a cheerful and optimistic
gardening Gnome.
The acquisition of the series demonstrates C大象传媒's continuing commitment
to home-grown animation.
Michael Carrington, Head of Acquisitions & Animation, C大象传媒, said: "We're
thrilled that CBeebies has been able to secure the broadcast rights to
this high quality British animation series.
"It adds a distinct look and feel to our programme portfolio."
Aimed at CBeebies' pre-school audience, Gordon The Garden Gnome combines
entertainment and education, with a strong focus on ecology and the environment.
Faced with a water shortage, an impending storm, a garden full of autumn
leaves, or simply the arrival of a homeless plant in the post, Gordon
has a caring approach to problem-solving in the garden.
Collingwood O'Hare Managing Director, Christopher O'Hare, says: "Gordon
The Garden Gnome will encourage young children to be fascinated by the
garden and the environment.
"It will be the end to the annihilation of flower beds and the start
to little green fingers all around the country."
The series, currently in production, is set to premiere on CBeebies later
this spring.
