Tell us about the Opportunity / What is it?

Everyone grew up loving the stories of Roobarb's (inventive, optimistic green dog) good intentions & wacky inventions in the garden shed never quite going to plan, much to the amusement of Custard (lazy, sarcastic pink cat), & the multi coloured giggling Birds! The original TV series of 30x5' eps broadcast in the UK in 1974 & went on to be aired throughout the 30 years in over 35 countries! 30 years on in August 2005, the cult animation icons returned to our TV screens (Five's Milkshake & Cartoon Networks Boomerang) in an ALL NEW digitally animated TV series of 39x7' eps!

What is the Marketing Objective?

For these already successful and popular characters to gain greater exposure in the countries in which they are already licensed for broadcast. These include:- UK (Five's Milkshake & Cartoon Networks Boomerang) USA (Cartoon Network) Ireland (RTE2's The Den) Australia (ABC) Ratings of the series on Milkshake and Boomerang have out performed all predictions, becoming one of the top rated shows & seeing Boomerang doubling their airtime from Spring 2006!
