www.bbcworldwide.com BBC Worldwide showcases its strong portfolio of television properties with several premium brands. Its extensive range of product is designed specifically with an international focus for a universal appeal. Leading the way is the fast-approaching 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. The action will build throughout 2013 as the Time Lord is celebrated with a wave of special product launches and TV stories. Christmas 2013 opens the way for more action with the theatrical release of a new
Walking With Dinosaurs movie. The next step in a family franchise that began with the groundbreaking CGI of the original series is a co-production with Fox that will be backed with toys, gifts and publishing. The popular Deadly series now has 20 licensees, led by an exciting toy range from
Character Options. A brand new series will air from October which will see presenter Steve Backshall uncovering ever-more deadly wildlife and natural phenomenon. For younger children, BBC Worldwide presents merchandising for family favourite,
Something Special. Justin Fletcher’s loveable Mr Tumble is enjoying huge demand for the toys after a successful launch in 2012. Sarah & Duck premiered on CBeebies in February. Aimed at 3-6-year-olds, it is
already performing consistently well with toys from Posh Paws launching in 2014. Top Gear continues to drive appeal across the globe attracting licensees in the UK,
Europe, US and Australia. Most recently, the brand has steered its influence into new ranges including automotive accessories and men’s apparel. Benedict Cumberbatch’s modern take on Sherlock has become a cult hit and with
more episodes on the way, the design-led feel of the show is perfect for inspiring gift merchandise. A new range of beautiful home and stationery products inspired by craft queen and television presenter, Kirstie Allsopp, launched in retailers this Summer.

Blue-Zoo won the award for Independent Production Company at the Children’s BAFTAs last year. Olive the Ostrich follows the adventures of Olive on her imaginary
travels to various places. Olive buries her head in the sand and pops up somewhere new in every episode. In each episode, animators bring to life real pictures drawn by children, creating guest characters, places and objects that Olive encounters. Blue-Zoo toured 100 schools across the UK to hold workshops where schoolchildren drew the scenes, encouraging their creativity and problem-solving skills in an imaginative way, with the children credited at the end of each episode. Nick Jr UK is currently airing the second series, and Olive the Ostrich is sold internationally by Nick International. There are 104, 5-minute episodes showing in the UK on Nick Jr and Five’s Milkshake, in the USA on PBS Sprout, and in Israel on HOP. Raydar Media will be attending BLE to represent the property for an array of product categories including art & craft, stationery, publishing and plush. The Alphablocks are 26 living letters who discover that when they hold hands and make a word it comes to life.

There are 26, 3.5-minute episodes, and 65, 5-minute episodes broadcast on CBeebies.
