According to the following news article from
Express.co.uk, Phil Davies, the producer of the popular Nick Jr. Channel UK and Ireland animated preschool series "Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom", has confirmed to journalists that the new Mayor of the shows enchanted magical kingdom is not based on the current (2012) Mayor of London, Boris Johnson (also known as Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson):
BORIS JOHNSON HAS NEW ROLE IN BEN AND HOLLY'S LITTLE KINGDOM
The cartoon mayor in Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom
THE thatch of white-blond hair seems familiar and the plummy voice is unmistakable.
The new mayor in the imaginary land of the hit children’s programme Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom looks an awful lot like Boris Johnson.
The fairyland town hall chief, whose upper-crust charms mimic the style of London mayor Boris, appears in the premiere of the new series of Ben and Holly on the Nickelodeon channel.
The hit show for pre-school children is screened in 43 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. The enchanted magic kingdom home of elf Ben and fairy Princess Holly is also a favourite on Channel 5.
Last night show co-producer Phil Davies insisted: “Any resemblance to real persons, either living or dead is purely coincidental.”
Boris would not be the first politician to be celebrated in cartoon form. Tony Blair was animated for The Simpsons."Any resemblance to real persons, either living or dead is purely coincidental"
