Great case study to show that the British children's TV industry is LACKING and there is a GAP IN THE MARKET.
MORE ORIGINAL TV SHOWS ARE WANTED AND NEEDED.

Culture Secretary Karen Bradley said it would give the children's TV sector "the boost it needs to create innovative content for a wider audience that would otherwise not be made".
The money will be available for programmes shown by commercial public service broadcasters - including ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 - as well as other "free and widely available" channels and streaming services, and potentially other online platforms.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said the fund could be used to pay for up to 50% of the production and distribution costs of original TV shows.
Programmes from new and diverse backgrounds, and those made in the nations and regions, will be "a particular focus", it said.
