- StarsRoy Kinnear"Towser is smart (but not too smart). Towser is brave (well, resourceful anyway)...". Towser is a sweet tenacious terrier created by prolific artist and author Tony Ross. He was brought into animated life with the help of the equally prolific David McKee and King Rollo Films - Mr McKee being the creator of Mr. Benn, of course. Towser dwelled in a semi-medieval world, where there were castles and all the expected chivalrous characters and furnishings yet there were also comfy armchairs and suitcases and modern accouterments. A seemingly odd mix then, but it all gels perfectly and each tiny tale features a little pinch of irony, a tiny twist to savour. Towser's close pals include a king known only as The King, a cat called Sadie and The Owl, and his esoteric adventures introduced us to the likes of The Terrible Thing, Dr. Smelly, Goblin Gobble, The Lion, Captain Rat, Sir Lance, The Witch, an alien, and most bizarrely of all, a strange blue beaky-bird called Nosey Parker. Towser is noticeable for having been narrated by the late actor Roy Kinnear.(ITV)

- StarsKate RobbinsThe menu at Claudia's Caribou Kitchen is really wild. She has to think of all the different things that the animals in Barkabout like to eat. Special bamboo for Mrs. Panda, ants for Abe the Anteater and plenty of greens for Tom Tortoise who is The Caribou Kitchen's slowest waiter. The wildlife in the town of Barkabout have some really special skills, Betty Beaver is the local carpenter, Kevin Chameleon is the interior decorator and Hector Hippopotamus runs the fruit and vegetable shop and they each use these skills to help one another.
