No Place For Old Men? I've found one!


I've been ever so busy since Christmas! I've been making resolutions but its very hard for a young kids' character to keep her resolutions to be an even better kids' character when there are fewer and fewer places to be a kids' character.


After the BBC finally admitted that at five o'clock weekdays, children are the weakest link, I decided I would have to go digital after all. See my Grandad doesn't have digital and isn't going to get it because he will probably be dead by 2012. So I didn't want to be on telly that he couldn't see. But then I realised, much as I like watching telly with my grandad, he's not a kid and I'm not a grandad's character, I'm a kids' character and if I'm on the telly then I can't be watching it with him so that made my mind up.


So I took a look at the digital channels. Wow! There are so many! But for most of them, I don't stand a chance because, as a purple bunny, my teeth are a bit too sticky out and my smile doesn't dazzle. And I can't say "eugh!" in a girly way. And being purple means, even if I do get a fake tan, it will never show.
I'll never be orange enough.


But you don't have to be orange with perfect teeth to be on CBBC or CITV. Hooray!


What you do have to be though is old. And you have to repeat yourself. Again and again and again. In fact I think I should give up this being a kids' character malarky and send my grandad instead. He could be the new Tracy Beaker! He's old enough and repeats himself all the time.
