I hope there will be lots to keep your children entertained and enthralled as we continue our mission of helping children learn through play.
Rastamouse, which starts this week, is a colourful, new musical animation based on the acclaimed books by Michael De Souza and Genevieve Dexter, with Rastamouse brought to life by the vocal talents of Reggie Yates.
Mr Bloom's Nursery, which launches next week, will teach children valuable life lessons through the wonders of vegetable gardening; and later in the year Raa Raa the Noisy Lion is a lovely new animation about a little lion who is just finding his voice. I hope you and your children are already enjoying two of our other new animations - Little Charley Bear and the delightfully quirky Dipdap.
I'm particularly excited about the great line-up of comedy we have on the channel this year and I hope you enjoy watching along with your little ones. The inimitable Justin Fletcher is back on our screens with Gigglebiz and Timmy Time returns later in the year. I really want children to feel a sense of wonder when they watch our channel so Octonauts which I know many of you love, will be launching a series of new underwater adventures and you'll be able to see inside the enchanting homes of The Piplings for the first time in Waybuloo.
We also have a couple of great new online offerings - Talkie Time and The Lingo Show. We hope they will inspire children to learn interactively about the joy of communication and encourage them to say a few words in different languages.
Our shows will be getting out and about more this year so some of our viewers may get the chance to meet their favourite presenters. Katy will be taking I Can Cook on the road later this year, following the success of Mr Maker Comes To Town. Justin Fletcher will be doing a new show from our new home in Salford - more details to follow!
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this taster film and I'd love to know what you think of our latest offerings.

It is very difficult though for him as there is no information on when these will be shown on television. He really wants to see his item but it is really pot luck which is a real shame for the children. I think this should have been thought through more with an set time each day that is adversised as such.
