New Numberjacks website coming soon!
Numberjacks has won the Royal Television Socety Award for Best Eduational Pre-school programme. The judges said that: "This winning programme is an innovative combination of live action and animation of great appeal for its audience, made with a thorough understanding of how young children learn and rehearse basic mathematical concepts." We are delighted and honoured to have won.
Numberjacks was nominated in the Children's Programmes category at the Banff International Televsion Festival but we sadly lost out to Jackanory. The show has also been pre-selected for the Japan Prize.
The first Numberjacks DVDs has been a great success. DVD 2 - Calling All Agents! - was released in the summer and included a great poster of the inside of the sofa. In October DVD 3 - Standing By To Zoom! - was released. This DVD comes with a CD of audio stories including a specially written Christmas episode. DVD 4 is due out in March 2008.
Los Supernumeros - as it is called there - is proving a popular show on the Fox/National Geographic Kids channel in Latin America and on Disney Playhouse in Australia. You can also catch the show all over South East Asia, in New Zealand and Canada. You can even fly Emirates Airlines and enjoy Numberjacks as in-flight entertainment.
The Numberjacks television times have changed - see Numberjacks on TV for latest transmission times.
The Numberjacks radio shows are proving popular at the weekends on CBeebies Radio on BBC Radio 7. They can also be downloaded from Kid's Music on www.kidsmusic.co.uk
We are taking some time to develop a new website - watch this space for changes in the Spring!
