Internal article agreement
editThe intro says: "who has changed three times since the programme's outset" but aside from potential spelling issues (something I have a personal weakness in) it does not agree with the list of the list of "owners". From Original via three changes should have us on the fourth owner not the third. I'm not expert enough to identify which is the truth but there is a lack of consistency. --Lord Matt 08:37, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
- There were indeed three owners, hence the owner changed twice. I have reworded the paragraph to reflect this, as well as improving the overall grammar ;) TheIslander 00:31, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hutchins is the only female presenter of the series.
- < What relevance does this have ? 3 presenter. Are you suggesting the show was sexist by having 1 female presenter to 2 males? 217.155.68.51 (talk) 03:10, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

I've noticed that in some series (not sure, maybe earlier ones) Rosie seems to be much darker coloured than in later ones. Is she supposed to be a black doll? If so, why is she white in later episodes? Or is my DVD player just a bit off-colour ;-) 203.87.74.230 (talk) 01:29, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
French
editDidn't the program also contain some dialogue in French? For example, if my memory serves me, "le sac magique" used to appear regularly in the show. This isn't mentioned at all in the article. — Fly by Night (talk) 14:23, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- It was Tots TV that I was thinking of. — Fly by Night (talk) 23:28, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Involvement of John Cunliffe in the authorship of the show
editThere appears to some confusion over the show's creators. The first series is credited as being written and presented by John Cunliffe and obituaries to him in the press also credited him as the author. However, the show has been confirmed as having been created by Anne Wood and Robin Stevens in interviews with Stevens that can be seen on You Tube (I am thinking about the ones hosted by Jack's Throwback Attack). The second series of the show credit Cunliffe and Stevens as writing it. According to the interviews with Stevens, Cunliffe's involvement came about as a result of Wood wanting a real author in the show, implying the creation of the show had already started beforehand, as opposed to someone pretending to write books. As far as I am aware, Cunliffe wrote the animated sequences in the first two series based on the stories he wrote based on the episodes' events. I know Cunliffe wrote books to tie in with the series he was in as published copies are seen in the episode Library in the second series. The existence of such books could have contributed to confusion over the show's authorship. Tk420 (talk) 11:38, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
