Q Pootle 5 from book to screen Giveaway
Q Pootle 5 is the central character. He’s fun, easy-going, kind, and resourceful. He’s a leader without being bossy. There’s nothing he loves more than spending time with his friends – they look up to him, but he doesn’t really notice.
Oopsy is Q Pootle 5’s best friend. She’s excitable, impetuous and OK, a bit gung-ho! Oopsy has the most infectious giggle in the galaxy. She loves to dance and draw..
Eddi is one person with two heads. A worrier who’s often in two minds! He doesn’t mean to be rude but he can sometimes be, how shall we say, direct! Eddi is a bit of a techie and can often be found tinkering with his spaceship.
Stella is creative, offbeat and independent. She loves growing things in her garden and she’s very generous. She plays the bagpipes (there’s room for improvement) and she lives with her bird, Ray.
Ray is a major bird who doesn’t like heights. He’s grumpy, offhand and lazy. But Stella loves him to bits!
Groobie is very jolly, very obliging and rather disorganised. He runs a cafĂ©-cum-store and if he hasn’t got what you need, he’ll almost certainly be able to get it. He plays the piano in a style somewhere between Les Dawson and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Bud-D is Groobie’s right-hand-robot. He’s loyal, enthusiastic and cheerful, but not always that reliable.
Planet Dave is a giant of a friend. He has the patience and wisdom of someone who’s seen it all in his four billion years. He spends a fair bit of time dozing, but he loves the company of his friends from Okidoki. For a planet, he gets involved more than you might think.
Q and A: The Making of Q Pootle 5 with Nick Butterworth (Executive Producer, Production Designer and Writer)
How would you describe Q Pootle 5 as a show?
Q Pootle 5 is a fun and exciting show with friendship at its heart. It taps into the world of young children where imagination always trumps reality!
And how would you describe him as a character?
Q Pootle 5 is a friendly and fun-loving person who has a real sense of adventure. He’s very kind and loves spending time with his friends. He’s good at solving problems – but he’s not infallible – sometimes it can be a problem of his own making!
How did Q Pootle 5 make the jump from book to screen? Tell us about the creative process
The idea came from my two books, Q Pootle 5 and Q Pootle 5 In Space. My son, Ben and I initially looked at the two books and the characters that we felt could be developed. Ideas would arrive very quickly. For example, one of us might suddenly ask, “Where does a character live?” and from this, we might develop a number of ideas, not always related to the original question! It was very satisfying when one idea sparked another.
Of course we wanted to maintain the integrity of the original books, but the possibilities that animation offered, the creation of a world with movement, voices, music and sound effects, inspired us to take things further.
Snapper is a family company – what is it like working with your family on the series?
Speaking for myself and for my wife Annette, who is also deeply involved in the production process, I can say that it has been a real pleasure. We each have individual strengths and areas of responsibility. But we also have a certain amount of overlap.
What do you love about Q Pootle 5?
For me it has been hugely satisfying to be able to widen the scope of what I have been trying to do in the field of children’s books. TV is a much more collaborative process than publishing. Working with Ben and Annette has allowed me to work with people I like and respect towards the common goal of creating a high quality, narrative based children’s TV series.
What makes the show appealing to the pre-school audience (and parents)?
Space is exciting and intriguing to people. The series has diverse, strong stories and rich nuanced characters that people can identify with. There is a lot of fun and laughter in the series and some very tender moments too, which all seem to really resonate with children and parents.
Tell us about Q Pootle 5 - how would you describe the show?
|
Q Pootle 5 is an animated series set in space, on a planet called Okidoki. It follows the
adventures of a group of loveable alien friends. The show feels to me like the children’s TV I
grew up loving, such as Mr Benn and The Wombles, as it is very character driven.
Tell us about your favourite character in the show All the characters are ace but we all have a soft spot for Planet Dave! What’s your favourite thing about him? I love his lugubrious voice. What do you think it is about the show that children are going to enjoy? The characters and their interaction, the music, the spaceships! |
What was it like working with Nick Butterworth and the team?
Nick and the team are great. They have a clear idea of what they want but allow us the freedom to make the characters come alive. |
What was your favourite TV series as a kid?
Mr Benn, The Wombles, Bagpuss, Chortlon and the Wheelies, Top Cat, Stingray and Thunderbirds The Competition To celebrate the show, I have a Q Pootle 5 book to give away to one of my lovely readers.

* Apologies for the delay this week, long story short it was a technical gremlin! - My iphone crashed - was too full of photos (It had been telling me for yonks but i'd been "clever" and noticed if I used instagram, it still saved my photos) turns out it was over by 900MB's and wouldn't even let me delete anything. Plugged it into my computer and it kept making my computer crash and now thats playing up - grr! in the end I had to restore the iphone to factory settings :(
Good Luck everyone!

Six women climbing The Shard London 2013
Hi Emma, If you're reading this email it means I'm clinging to the side of the Shard - attempting something that's never been done before: scaling Europe's tallest skyscraper. If we make it to the top, we plan to install a giant piece of art in direct view of Shell's three London headquarters down around me. We can see them, so I know they can see us. I've been climbing for years, but this is the biggest challenge I've ever taken on. Am I scared? Hell yeah. But I know that fear is only what you make of it. For me this is a personal act of bravery, and I hope that beyond all else it can encourage anyone hesitating over taking action - no matter what scale - to take that step today. There are only six of us up here, but there are millions of us in every corner of the world who want the Arctic protected. The most effective action we can do now is to make everyone else care for the Arctic as we do, and to do that we need to make it news. This is not a niche subject. This affects every single person on our shared planet. Everyone should know that we've lost 80% of the Arctic sea ice in the last 30 years, and that should make people want to protect it. Not to drill for more oil that caused the melting in the first place. Follow our progress on LIVE TV and please share this page with everyone you know on Facebook, Twitter and over email. Let's make this as big as we can. Shell doesn't want us talking about their dangerous Arctic oil drilling plans. Together we can shout about them from the rooftops ;) Wish us luck, Victo (and Sandra, Sabine, Liesbeth, Wiola and Ali) x
