Big news.

Noddy is to return to TV for a new series to mark his 60th birthday, it has been announced today.

According to the Press Association report I've just been reading, the programme makers want the new series "to return to Enid Blyton's original vision" of Toyland.

That'll be why they've given him a helicoper, monster truck and submarine to go with his red and yellow car.

They might as well go the whole hog and give him Sat Nav and an ipod.
