What do your broadcast partners say about the Boblins?
“TV4 has aired Boblins twice a week since October 2006. We are very happy with the programme and the number of viewers has kept growing throughout the fall. We are looking forward to and are hoping for a long and successful partnership.”
Lotta Beck Remnes – Commissioning Editor for Children’s Programmes. TV4 Sweden
“TV 2 has aired Boblins once a week since August 2006,and we are very satisfied with the series’ ratings. Boblins is an explosion of nice colours and sweet characters which the small kids love, and it is a perfect match with all the other quality series at TV 2 Norway.
TV 2 has now decided to air series 2 and are looking forward to working with Inspire GLG for many years. My opinion is that British producers have a very long tradition of delivering high quality series for kids, and that the series works very well for the Norwegian market. Both the scripts and the animation produced by Inspire GLG is to a very high level.”
Beathe Daae – Head of Childrens Programming. TV2 Norway
“I have the luxury of seeing many new animated shows each year, as many producers are anxious to market their home entertainment products under our Treehouse Presents banner. One of the hottest new pre-school properties I have come across is Boblins. The characters, storylines etc are perfect for this market…but more importantly, they have the key elements to be a successful global merchandise phenomenon. We are delighted with the exceptional sales growth we are experiencing with the Boblins DVD in Canada. The performance of the property is consistent with our expectations and we are very excited about the future prospects for the entire brand. We see significant upside in overall sales as ancillary merchandise starts to hit retail shelves later this year.”

Boblins was one of the highlights in the launch schedule for TVNZ 6’s Kidzone block for pre-schoolers. All the programming in this block needs to be educational, fun and enjoyable for kids and caregivers - Boblins perfectly fulfils all of these criteria.
Juliet Jensen - Programme Manager TVNZ
Boblins has been part of the successful launch of our weekday morning pre-school programming on DR1. Good storytelling combined with fine animation and the beautiful overall look of the series has made it one of the highest rated in our line-up.
Jakob Stegelmann - Producer/Programme Buyer
Boblins is a favourite in Canada. A favourite amongst Treehouse viewers, the series’ colourful and fanciful characters bring so much joy and laughter to Canadian pre-schoolers - an experience we are thrilled to be a part of, and Boblins is a great example of the quality programming that parents have come to expect from our network."
Brenda Nietupski, Director of Programming, Treehouse and Discovery Kids Canada.
“Boblins ticks all the boxes for us. We are strongly focusing our output on British born productions, particularly in the pre-school arena, and the Boblins bright and colourful world, twinned with great stories is a perfect fit for Wakey Wakey.”
