Lion Television launch new children’s division

Multi-award winning UK indie Lion Television have announced the formation of a new children’s programming division headed up by acclaimed children’s television producer, Karl Woolley (co-creator of The Tweenies).
Wooley assumes the role of Head of Children’s Programming and will run the division from Lion’s London offices.
This announcement not only establishes Lion’s firm commitment to children’s programming, it also cements Lion’s reputation as one of the UK’s most creative and diverse indies.
Creators of some of the world’s best-selling entertainment formats, Lion Television have become one of the leading producers of high quality programming across a wide range of genres.
The division is already developing a raft of factual and entertainment programming formats for children. Highlights include ‘Click City’, an interactive mobile phone gameshow where experts test the knowledge of two teams of kids, who ‘click’ their discoveries by mobile back to a studio; ‘Space Pirates’, a virtual reality, live-action adventure game format; ‘Thought Court’, featuring a children’s jury who have to pass judgement on a fictional case or moral dilemma; and ‘The Antics Roadshow’ - a cast and crew spend a week in a town unearthing the area’s funniest and quirkiest kids, culminating in a live Saturday morning ‘madfest’.
