Television
Created in 1953 by Rolf Kauka, the Fix and Foxi comic strip has entertained European children for decades.
The pair of feisty foxes were brought to life in their own animated TV series:Rolf Kauka’s Fix and Foxi and Friends and I co-wrote two episodes: What Goes Up and A Whale of a Time.
Produced by the German media company Ravensburger Entertainment, and broadcast on the BBC and other networks, Fix and Foxi are entertaining a new generation of kids across Europe.
Radio
Today and Yesterday is the BBC’s longest running radio series for children in Northern Ireland.
Broadcasting every Tuesday morning to students aged 9 to 11 years, this series follows the Northern Ireland Curriculum to teach kids about the world around them.
For Today and Yesterday, I wrote John Joly: Master of Light, a 20 minute radio play profiling the inventions of John Joly, a nineteenth century pioneer of colour photography. Through Joly’s experiments, young listeners were introduced to three key properties of light: reflection, refraction and transparency.
