That's promising and I guess that means some BBC Execs have seen and approved it. If it were too weird or polarising I don't think the Beeb would want to get involved with it in this way.

Well, BBC execs were apparently quite ok with cartoon Graham Norton appearing in the rather climatic ending of last week's Doctor Who episode XD

But I'm with you on that, Rob, if BBC thinks the mascot has enough appeal to have its own tv show, I guess it's something quite nice! :D

Didn't Izzy from the Atlanta games have his (or it's) own cartoon too? I know it had a theme park ride at Busch Gardens in Virginia (where I happen to work)

I believe the Barcelona mascot had a tv show as well. Remember reading about it a while ago when looking up info on the games in wikipedia.

Yes, Izzy and family had a "Quest for Gold" 1/2 hour TV show (and actually played on TBS). As a matter of fact, I had played it last week on my annual secret allegiance ceremony to the memory of the most maligned mascot of all time-- the Super-Cute IZZY!! :lol:
