Mr. Bloom’s Nursery Star Launches Production Venture

Ben Faulks, who co-created and starred in the CBeebies brand Mr. Bloom’s Nursery, is launching his own production company, Egg Power Productions.

Egg Power will focus on developing and creating its own original IP. The first show developed in-house is A Mug of Tea with Emory, a 52×7-minute live-action series for 3- to 7-year-olds that invites viewers to join the host, Emory (played by Faulks), for an imaginative tea break.

Faulks said: “After having spent over a decade working on the Mr. Bloom brand with CBeebies, I’m incredibly excited to have established Egg Power Productions and be bringing our first show to Kidscreen 2021. It’s my first time at a virtual market and I think the Kidscreen team have done a fantastic job in bringing people together, to share in ideas and allow the event to flourish in an online capacity. With all of us spending more time with our children over the last year, A Mug of Tea with Emory feels incredibly timely—and a reminder that a little time, well spent, goes a long way.”
