    I grew up watching Noddy!

    I don't let my son watch TV yet (he's 2 1/2) but he loves the Noddy books. We're thinking about letting him watch some tv, that's why I'm checking out this website. Just wanted to let people know that Noddy has been around a very long time. I watched the original tv series when I was a kid in the UK. I think it was made in the early '60s. There have been some new characters added (I don't remember Dinah Doll or Bumpy Dog). I like the new series and I'm glad that a new generation of kids is watching it.
