The series centers on Katy Carr, a tomboy with an overactive imagination who loves building dens and climbing trees.<\/p>\n<p>One day Katy\u2019s life changes dramatically when she falls from a makeshift swing and suffers life changing spinal injuries. Katy is played by Chloe Lea (<em>Scott &amp; Bailey<\/em>). The series has scooped two BAFTA Awards, a Royal Television Society (RTS) Award and a Rookie award and has been nominated for an Emmy.<\/p>\n<p><em>Buck + Buddy<\/em> (60&#215;5 min.) targets 6- to 11-year-olds and features Buck the beetle and Buddy the stick insect, a pair of unusual allies who are sometimes friends and sometimes foes. They are always trying to get what they need to survive, gathering used, useful but mostly useless objects that have been discarded in the various wastelands they call home. Together they live, compete and play in the world around them.<\/p>\n<p>Dominic Gardiner, CEO of Jetpack Distribution, said: \u201cThese are two brilliant additions to our catalog. I am very pleased to be expanding our live-action offer and <em>Katy<\/em> is a serious coming-of-age drama tackling some big themes. Its brilliance has been recognized by BAFTA, RTS and\u2014of course\u2014U.K. audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gardiner added: \u201c<em>Buck + Buddy<\/em> is a very different type of show but one that is equally great, with humor and warmth that will appeal to kids globally.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jetpack Distribution has secured the international rights for CBBC\u2019s live-action drama Katy and Li Critter Workshop\u2019s non-dialogue series Buck + Buddy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":17492,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[3616,433,958,5013,5014],"class_list":["post-17491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-buck-buddy","tag-cbbc","tag-jetpack-distribution","tag-katy","tag-li-critter-workshop","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Jetpack Expands Kids\u2019 Portfolio - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/jetpack-expands-kids-portfolio\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Jetpack Expands Kids\u2019 Portfolio - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Jetpack Distribution has secured the international rights for CBBC\u2019s live-action drama Katy and Li Critter Workshop\u2019s non-dialogue series Buck + Buddy.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/jetpack-expands-kids-portfolio\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-10-21T13:39:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/Katy-CBBC-Jetpack-1019.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/jetpack-expands-kids-portfolio\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/jetpack-expands-kids-portfolio\/\",\"name\":\"Jetpack Expands Kids\u2019 Portfolio - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-10-21T13:39:32+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-10-21T13:39:32+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/jetpack-expands-kids-portfolio\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/jetpack-expands-kids-portfolio\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/jetpack-expands-kids-portfolio\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Jetpack Expands Kids\u2019 Portfolio\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\",\"name\":\"Alison Skilton\",\"description\":\"Alison Skilton is an associate editor of World Screen.
