Preschool Show Daisy & Ollie Lands in New Territories

Daisy & Ollie, an animated preschool series from CHF Entertainment, has secured new broadcast agreements in Finland and Russia.

Daisy & Ollie is now headed to Finland and Russia through new deals with YLE and CLS Media, respectively. The show will debut on YLE in late summer 2018, while CLS Media will distribute it through digital broadcast platforms in Russia, Baltics, Ukraine, Moldova and Central Asian territories.

Based on an original idea by Helen Brown, Daisy & Ollie sees British comedian Jason Manford voicing two characters and serving as an executive producer and writer. The series, which debuted last year on Cartoonito in the U.K., encourages young viewers to question the world around them.

Manford commented: “Daisy & Ollie is such a joy to make; we have an amazing voice cast and production team working on the show and we all have brilliant fun figuring out the answers to life’s biggest questions.”

He added: “I’m completely thrilled with the response to Daisy & Ollie, especially as parents are watching the show along with their children. I think it works so well as we’re answering the very real questions that come up every single day, with a touch of dry humor for the mums and dads.”

Jenny Johnstone, commercial director for CHF Entertainment, stated: “We are very pleased to be announcing international sales for Daisy & Ollie ahead of full completion and delivery for the episodes. It is indicative of the quality of the series and its ability to translate and appeal to a global market.”
