Thumb Wrestling Federation Fights Off All Comers

August 05, 2008

It's official, Thumb Wrestling Federation: TWF has fought off the competition and walked away with the ultimate prize -- being crowned the most watched children's show in the U.K. BROADCAST magazine's July 25 2008 issue carried the news as part of its ratings round-up, listing the TWF transmission on Monday July 14 at the top of the children's pile above other hugely popular shows such as GRANGE HILL and NEWSROUND.

Created by Animation Collective, an independent creator of children's entertainment in the U.S., TWF is broadcast across both BBC1 and BBC2's children's programming and daily on the CBBC channel. The BBC has bought all four seasons of the series, with the fourth currently in production due to be delivered in the fall

Licensed by Bulldog, the list of U.K. TWF licensees continues to grow. DVDs from Delta are on the shelves at major retailers, with products from Sambro, Aykroyds/TDP, Roy Lowe & Sons, Panini, Random House and Danilo already solid into stores for fall 2008.
