 This series was the brainchild of Anne Wood (II) (qv). It was  based upon the books by Jean Kenward (which possibly appeared on  _"Book Tower, The" (1979)_ (qv), also produced by Anne Wood). From  this series Wood realized that there was a gap in the viewing  schedules for toddlers (as the ratings system at that time did not  pick them up). From this notion she went on to create Ragdoll Ltd,  possibly the biggest childrens TV production company in the UK,  producing popular programmes such as the Teletubbies, BooBahs, Tots  TV, Rosie and Jim and Pobs Programme.
