8:00am: Huntik - New series! Join the Seekers as they travel the world in search of ancient amulets.

NickToons UK's new animated action show "Huntik: Secrets & Seekers" is an action adventure comedy/drama about a group of Seekers traveling around the globe in search of ancient Amulets that can invoke different types of titans. Long before our times, humanity fought against an evil of unimaginable power. The darkness was broken only by the Seekers, humans able to invoke legendary creatures - the Titans - into their own plane of existence. With the Titans executing their every order, the first Seekers fought against the dark forces of the underworld and against themselves. Centuries went by, and one by one, the Titans were hidden: some were buried following grueling battles, others merely forgotten as time passed. The magical and powerful creatures lie hidden and dormant in the most remote parts of the universe, waiting to be awakened by a new and bold group of Seekers. After centuries, the Seekers divided themselves into chapters in order to find traces and clues of past and extinct populations in order to reveal the mystery of the Titans. The Huntik Foundation reaching for these answers will travel from the tip of the South American continent to Europe, from North America to African terrains. Only the most worthy of Seekers are able to invoke the Titans and benefit from their unbelievable powers.

"Huntik" is an Italian animated series created and directed by Iginio Straffi (creator of the "Winx Club"), and is a co-production between Big Bocca Productions, a company owned by Richard McWilliam, CEO and owner of Upper Deck and Rainbow S.p.A., and is one of the spin-offs to Nick's popular "Winx Club" series. All of the show's designs, animation and visual style were created in Italy, while the scriptwriting and original voice recording were done in the United States.

The Irish Times Interviews Colin Williams, Founder Of Sixteen South; Nick Jr. UK To Debut New Mixed Media Series "Driftwood Bay" In Spring 2014

The Irish Times, a Irish daily broadsheet newspaper, has unveiled a exclusive interview they recently held with Colin Williams, the founder of the Belfast-based independent children's television production company Sixteen South Television, who are currently producing "Driftwood Bay", a brand new mixed media animated preschool series that Nickelodeon UK's preschool channel, Nick Jr. UK and Ireland, commissioned in 2012, and is due to premiere on Nick Jr. UK in Spring 2014, as part of 2014 on Nickelodeon UK, which you can read below:

Colin Williams

Children’s television production company Sixteen South was established in 2008

Colin Williams founded children’s television production company Sixteen South in 2008. He worked in advertising before setting up his first business, post production company Inferno, which produced animation, film and interactive content for museums and television commercials.

He set up Sixteen South as a side project to Inferno after seeing an ad to pitch to Sesame Workshop in New York to produce a local version of its iconic show Sesame Street. After success with what became Sesame Tree, his team developed Big City Park, which was shot on location in Belfast's Ormeau Park and aired on the BBC children's channel CBeebies.

Belfast-based Sixteen South has since produced more than 200 episodes of children’s television for broadcasters across the globe, including the BBC, Nickelodeon, US cable giant Sprout and ABC Australia. It was ranked among the UK’s top indie producers by Televisual and also won the Deloitte Fast 50 Rising Star award in both 2011 and 2012. The shows, which include Sesame Tree, Big City Park, Big and Small, Pajanimals and Driftwood Bay, have received an IFTA award, a BAFTA and two Emmy nominations.

How did you secure your first investment?
I asked the bank to remortgage my house to raise some money to buy some equipment and pay the bills.

What vision prompted you to start-up your business?
I had been running a successful commercial production and post production company and while it was doing well, I was unhappy that the work we were producing was all about selling stuff to people who didn’t want to buy it. I wanted to create content that would make a difference and be seen, enjoyed and remembered in years to come. Children’s television was exactly that.

What moment or deal would you identify as the “game changer” or turning point for the company?
I think that the game keeps changing and there are lots of game changing moments, which constantly move us to bigger opportunities and bigger challenges. Pajanimals, our fourth show in partnership with The Jim Henson Company and the broadcaster Sprout, brought us into the global market and our work into over 300 million homes. And Driftwood Bay, our new show, has had an incredible response from the market, gaining us independent credibility.

What were the best and worst pieces of advice you received when starting out?
The best advice was something I scribbled down: “Do some good, make some money, have some fun”.
Three pieces of worst advice: being told by my Biology A-level teacher that I was a waste of space and wouldn’t do anything with my life; being told by a tutor at art college that animated media was too hard and wouldn’t catch on; and being told by a local broadcaster not to think about getting into children’s television because it was impossible.

Do you plan to extend your services to a new customer demographic or penetrate a new sector in the next 12 months?
Yes. We have produced five shows – all of which are created for preschoolers (2-6 year olds). We are currently negotiating a deal for a live action drama for 7-11 year olds with a global broadcaster.

What are the biggest challenges you face now?
Our biggest challenge is to get a large-scale children's drama off the ground while juggling all the other shows.

Nick Jr. UK's upcoming brand new mixed-media animated show for 3-6 year olds, "Driftwood Bay", is about a very special island that exists in the imagination of a little girl named Lily who creates a world of adventure and friendship from different treasures she finds washed up on the beach. Lily is 5 years old and lives on the Island of Arranish with her Dad. They live in a little hut on the beach packed full of jars, knick-knacks, driftwood and some very special friends... all made by Lily from salvage washed up by the sea. Across the way is Driftwood Bay – another island that Lily can see from her window, and it is here that the characters that she has created in her imagination come to life. Every day the sea washes up a new treasure which sparks Lily’s imagination about what might be happening on Driftwood Bay. And so, accompanied by her best friend Gull, the clever seagull, an adventure begins as they head off 'across the way to Driftwood Bay'.

"Driftwood Bay" is a unique series about making your own fun and adventures from the things that you find. It's about using your imagination and creativity to inspire an adventure or tell a story. It's based on real artwork made entirely from things washed up on the beach - from the animal characters to the backdrops and landscapes, everything has been created from beach salvage. It came to life when children's artist, Joanne Carmichael began to create characters from various things that she found washed up on the beach outside her cottage on the Scottish Island of Arran. Production of Season One (52 episodes x 7 minutes) commenced in Autumn (Fall) 2012 and will available for broadcast from Spring 2014. Show bible, scripts and a animated trailer is available on request from sixteensouth.tv.

Episode Five Of Nickelodeon UK's "Jordan & Perri's Ultimate Block Party" To Feature The Welsh Breakers (Also Known As Vortex Breakdancers); To Guest Star Diversity's Very Own Crew Leader, Ashley Banjo

Nickelodeon UK and Ireland have announced in the "What's On Nickelodeon" schedule section on Nick.co.uk and in the channels latest 'Next Week on Jordan & Perri' promo/trailer currently airing on Nick UK, the Nickelodeon UK News that the fifth brand new episode of Nick UK and Sky 1 HD's brand new dance-themed reality series "Jordan & Perri's Ultimate Block Party", which Nickelodeon UK & Ireland and Nickelodeon HD UK will premiere and show on Friday 5th July 2013 at 6.30pm (repeated at 7.30pm on Nick UK's +1 (plus-one) timeshift channel, Nick+1), will feature the shows presenters, Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely, of British street dance troupe Diversity fame, helping The Welsh Breakers, a group of five young boys from a sleepy-village in the Welsh Valleys who have formed their own crew called the Vortex Breakdancers, to enhance their dance skills and pull off a performance that will impress all their friends! A special guest shows up to give the group some last minute teaching – Diversity's very own crew leader, Ashley Banjo - but only after the boys put Ashley through his paces with a quick game of rugby.

The Vortex Breakdancers is a dance group formed to help keep local kids out of mischief in their otherwise quiet, small town near Newport. Made up from Jayden, 13, Cameron, 11, Ethan, 11, Liam, 13, and Kenny, 12, the group has a real family-like bond, especially as they are unofficially managed by one of the group member's brothers. According to the boys, nothing ever happens in their village and so they couldn't have been more excited to be surprised by Jordan and Perri. Finally, a chance to spice things up! Luckily, The Break Dancers already have street dance experience, but working with Jordan and Perri means they can try to perfect their “resurrection” dance moves, improve their flips and spins, and most importantly perfect their kick-butt attitude:

6:30pm: Jordan & Perri's Block Party - The Welsh Breakers: This group of five boys from Wales all break dance but want Jordan and Perri's help to enhance their dance skills and pull off a performance that will impress all their friends.

The Big Bang Theory’s Kunal Nayyar Parties with Robot in New Sanjay and Craig Episode

Sanjay and Craig continue their best bud adventures this Saturday, June 29, at 10:30a.m. ET/PT during a new episode of Nickelodeon’s Sanjay and Craig. First in “Traffical Island,” the kids turn against Sanjay when he maroons them all on a highway median. Then in “Partybot,” Sanjay and Craig find an old robot that Sanjay’s dad Vijay (Kunal Nayyar, The Big Bang Theory) constructed in college and become party animals.

Sanjay and Craig follows the adventures of Sanjay, an excitable and irreverent 12-year-old boy (Maulik Pancholy, 30 Rock) and Craig, a smooth-talking snake and master of disguise (Chris Hardwick, Nerdist, The Talking Dead).

From perfecting the ultimate bike skid, tightroping across a pool of garbage on a dare or Craig manipulating a contest to win his best buddy one hundred dogs, their routine hijinks often cross into the land of the fantastical and the absurd. Only Sanjay and his closest friends can hear Craig’s warped words of wisdom. The only thing that stands in their way is their unhinged, snake-phobic neighbor, Mr. Noodman (Tony Hale, Veep, Arrested Development), who’s always on the verge of figuring out that Craig can talk.

REVIEW: Dora The Explorer at the Bristol Hippodrome, eight out of ten, by Martin Booth

AN adult approaching Dora the Explorer for the first time would be utterly bamboozled.

Dora is a young Mexican girl who talks in both Spanish and English.

​
Her best friend is a monkey called Boots, and he accompanies her on lots of adventures with the help of a talking map and backpack.

The show over the weekend at the Hippodrome was a stage version of the Nickelodeon cartoon, which has tapped in to the psyche of children of a certain age.

My two-and-a-half year-old daughter was enraptured throughout this performance.

With the other children in the audience she pointed and waved at the oversized characters on stage, she gesticulated wildly when Dora's nemesis, a sneaky fox called Swiper appeared, she clapped her hands, stamped her feet, held a star aloft when instructed, and spun round and round in the aisle even when not instructed.

There might have been talking monkeys and dancing cows, but this was also a production which had a story with a classic three-act structure.

Dora and some of her friends had lost their toys, the adventure took us to the Number Pyramid and Mixed-up Jungle, before the final reconciliation at the City of Lost Toys.

Turning a 20-minute television programme into a 90-minute stage show never felt forced.

Instead, this meant there was time for a few exuberant song and dance routines, and the introduction of more popular characters such as Azul the blue train and Dora's animal-loving cousin, Diego, who are usually more peripheral figures on the screen.

There would have been a lot of very happy youngsters in Bristol this weekend, thrilled to meet their bilingual heroine in this fun-filled and surprisingly educational show.

Any production that teaches children not just to count to three, but to count to three in Spanish with the help of a hyperactive monkey with a penchant for colourful footwear, should be applauded.
