Reading the Noddy stories and watching this show were some of my favourite childhood memories. Even now, this series is timeless. The stories are charming, simple and sweet, very like the original stories as well as teaching things without coming across as overly-didactic and the writing is droll and easy for kids and adults to get involved with. The animation is wonderfully colourful and whimsical, while the theme tune is delightful and sticks in your head afterwards(and in a good way too). The characters are what make the series so timeless, all the characters of the stories are there and still as endearing as before, not just Noddy, but also Big Ears(who I've always loved), Mr Plod, Martha, Dinah, Mr Sparks, Tessie and many others. And the voice work is excellent, with nobody feeling the need to upstage the other, as this series didn't require that. All in all, timeless. 10/10 Bethany Cox

I used to watch this 1990s children's BBC TV programme when I was a kid. It was shown on the BBC as a part of their children's block CBBC and ViacomCBS (now known as Paramount Global) - owned Nickelodeon UK and Ireland in the 1990s. I thought I found it very entertaining. I know it is based on the beloved book series of the same name by the late Enid Blyton.
Forget the silly 2016 reboot by DreamWorks, it's probably one of the best children's BBC TV programmes of all time. Besides I still don't care DreamWorks has owns the rights of Enid Blyton's beloved franchise, Noddy. I bet DreamWorks Animation (a division of Comcast whose subsidiary is NBCUniversal) has already ruined Noddy. -
