Today on Biscuit: Behind the Boom Alex is speaking to Tony Reed who has been in the business of making kids TV for many years. Tony was an executive producer for CBeebies but has now moved to making kids TV potentially for BBC, Sky Kids, Netflix or whoever needs him to oversee their show.

Tony has been a part of so many big shows that will be known to many (especially to the UK audience) including The Tweenies, Playdays, The Furchester Hotel, Love Monster and many, many more.

Alex asks Tony about what it takes to make children's TV en masse because there is so much to think about. Putting aside the red tape, there's animation designs, storyboarding, universal and cultural languages, music oh...so much to think about it makes my head hurt. Tony will explain it better.

Join host Alex Whiteley as he gives artist and creator Jeff Brennan the opportunity to share his story. Jeff has worked on some absolutely iconic shows over the years. From the Jumanji Animated Series, Extreme Ghostbusters, Beavis and Butt-Head, Dragon Tales and the cult classic Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Jeff is a creator at heart and his work is so extensive that any thoughts of an actual structure to this podcast episode went out the window from the start. Alex gets that way sometimes when he gets too excited.

Jeff is awesome, go follow him and buy some comic books from him too as his creation Cyber girl L.E.E.T.A is gaining some serious momentum right now. You can find Jeff on his Insta by clicking HERE

A guest that has helped nurture the minds of youngsters for many years joins Alex Whiteley today. We give you Ben Faulks AKA Mr Bloom CBeebies fame. When Alex said he wanted to cover all of TV, movies, theatre and music he meant ALL of it, including the brilliant minds that create safe, fun entertainment for our kids.

Kids TV is the building blocks to a person's understanding of empathy, compassion, fun, imagination and creativity. Ben built Mr Bloom from the ground up to become that reliable character that has pumped out content, live shows, music and joy for over a decade.

Find out where it all began for Ben, what it it means to him to actually be Mr Bloom, what his plans might be for the future and his answer to the question sent in from last week's guest Sam Perry-Falvey. Oh and yes, we included all of the questions sent in for Ben, thank you for those guys.
