Noddy on TV
The Noddy phenomenon
Noddy, the little wooden boy with the jingly blue hat, has become one of the most loved children's characters of the modern era. Generations of children have grown up enjoying Enid Blyton's enchanting Noddy stories either through books, TV or the stage.
Noddy's beginnings
The first Noddy book, Noddy Goes to Toyland, was published in 1949. The success of the book resulted in Noddy's TV debut - in a puppet series in 1954. After this Noddy was exported all over the world. In fact over 200 million Noddy books have been sold in over 30 languages, including Medieval Latin and Icelandic!
Since 1954 Noddy has had several TV incarnations and in the 1970s the show was narrated by Richard Briers. Noddy in Toyland- the latest 3D animated series - hit the screens in Spring 2009.
Noddy today
Noddy is now broadcast in over 120 countries around the world. The show is bursting with fun and adventure. It’s every child’s dream world, where the toys really do come to life.
Playing and Learning in Noddy’s World
Noddy is designed to transport pre-schoolers into a wondrous make-believe world in which fun and imagination are an intergral part of figuring out the world and friends are always there to help. The show supports children’s growth and development by celebrating play as a powerful way to learn.
