Parthenon preschool series brings in Bling Parthenon Kids has signed on the line with UK prodco Bada Bling to make a new series created by the designer of Bob The Builder.  Parthenon Entertainment's children's production and distribution arm has optioned the rights to animated preschool series Rescue Rookies (52x5').The deal gives Parthenon exclusive multimedia rights to develop the series further, as well as taking it out into international waters where it will be pitched to broadcasters. It is the first option for Parthenon Kids' recently appointed head of children's programming Karina Stanford-Smith. "It was an easy decision to make as the appeal of the show is instantaneous," said Stanford-Smith. "The concept and character design is perfect for preschoolers and I'm delighted to be working with Curtis Jobling to bring this series to broadcast." The new series is conceived, written and designed by Bada Bling's Curtis Jobling, best known as the designer of BBC/Nickelodeon series Bob the Builder, as well as new BBC animated series Frankenstein's Cat. Inspired by Jobling's kids' attraction to flashing lights and sirens, each episode is aimed at teaching its young audience what can be achieved through teamwork and communication. It follows the adventures of an eager-to-please gang of young and enthusiastic emergency vehicles including Bravo the Police Car, Lulu the Ambulance, Flash the Fire Engine, Birdseye the Helicopter and Skipper the Lifeboat. The show has also been developed with UK studio Qurios Entertainment, whose MD Niel Bushnell comes aboard as the show's development producer. Antony Reeve-Crook 25 Oct 2007 © C21 Media 2007
