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. |

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

Press Release:
CROCS AWAY!
Voluntary group arranges sponsored ‘pop along n see’ event
that will see fallen tree trunk transform into Crocodile art
The Friends of Chislehurst Recreation Ground (“FOCRG”), a completely voluntary group with over 300 supporters is based around and focuses on this historic, well‐used park plus woodlands. FOCRG have arranged a free ‘pop along’ event that will see a long‐standing felled tree trunk transformed into a Crocodile by Chainsaw Carver artist William Lee of Chainsaw Carvings. The artistic process will take place over two days: Friday 12th and Saturday 13th July from 9am‐5pm. Visitors that pop‐along to view the transformation can view the carving in process from a set vantage point on either side of the path.
The carving cum Crocodile will take place on a main path that travels from Chislehurst Rec to Walden Rec. With apologies for any inconvenience, in order to keep both the public and wildlife safe, the path will be closed whilst the tree carving takes place. The path will open intermittently during breaks. Alternative access is available via Red Hill and Chislehurst High Street.
FOCRG Chairwoman Barbara Arora states:
“We are absolutely thrilled to be able to provide such an interesting inclusion to the Rec’s already improved facilities and we are grateful to the sponsor for this attractive addition to the landscape. Please forward any feedback to us via the focrg.org website.”
The Friends of Chislehurst Recreation Ground is a non‐profit‐making group. All of the Friends members give their time and expertise free of charge. FOCRG was formed in March 2010, to preserve and enhance the environment of Chislehurst & Walden Recreation Grounds for the benefit of the local community, in partnership with the London Borough of Bromley. The group grew out of a number of regular Rec users who felt that there were aspects of the park that could be improved. Instead of just moaning about it FOCRG thought they would actually try and do something! Visit www.focrg.org.uk for more information.
