Limited amount of that link
unless you pay.

How would cartoons attract more working class!

It is saving the Bloated BBC
money.

How’s that going to appeal to the working class to watch the Chanel though ?

isnt working class a bit of an outdated meaningless term?

"Patricia Hildago, the director of children's television for the BBC, told The Telegraph last year that CBBC was showing North American cartoons as a "tactic" to lure viewers from rival services. The plan was then to commission animated shows that emphasise Britishness.

"Imagine if we could have a British version of The Simpsons for children and families in the UK. That would be amazing, right?" Hidalgo said. "Think about any of the American shows: the streets are very American-looking – they do Thanksgiving. All the things are very American in culture.

"We could set our characters in a British setting. When I'm talking now to some of the people I'm meeting, I'm basically saying: 'What about roast beef instead of turkey when we have a family around the table?'"

The best Cartoon
the BBC did, was Monkey Dust
but that is for Adults

Came out on a DVD.

["We could set our characters in a British setting. When I'm talking now to some of the people I'm meeting, I'm basically saying: 'What about roast beef instead of turkey when we have a family around the table?'"]

Yes, that makes sense

Thanks LT,
for posting the substance to their plan.
