"Sheriff Sailor, A Very Young sailor Of The Ocean, Owner Of The Toytown Harbour he is a homosexual"

I think a citation is needed for this. Not sure how to do the superscript "citation needed" tag, so hopefully someone else will do this!


There's an article on the show, so I think the information on the show itself should be merged into that. --Gray Porpoise 21:40, 18 September 2006 (UTC)


I think the proposed merge is not necessarily the way to go. Charles Matthews 13:14, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Earlier TV adaptations

This article only mentions the 1992 and 2004 TV series. As far as I can make out, there were at least three earlier TV adaptations of Noddy.

A stop-motion animated series (called simply Noddy) was broadcast in 1975 - this Toonhound article has pictures and details. Apparently, it is often confused with the 1990s series, as both adaptations were produced by Cosgrove Hall.

The article also makes mention of two older series. From what I've seen on other sites, these are The Adventures of Noddy, a puppet series made in black and white in 1955, and The Further Adventures of Noddy, a colour series apparently made in the 1960s. It appears that both of these were produced by ITC Entertainment, and would therefore have originally been screened on ITV. Pictures of these two series can be seen here and here. 217.155.20.163 20:54, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and to add to the confusion, the IMDb lists Noddy in Toyland (1957) - however, there is not much information in the listing, and the DVD shown there is actually a spin-off of the 1990s series. 217.155.20.163 21:23, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

This article provides more information on the TV series, Make Way for Noddy, than it does on the character. Shall it be merged? --Gray PorpoisePhocoenidae, not Delphinidae 22:12, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

As the new series is an update of the original, Noddy should be the main article and Make Way for Noddy should redirect to it, with the latter being a section of the former. --Thoughtcat 16:31, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Noddy is an animated series..."

Shouldn't this article primarily be about either the Noddy character or the original Enid Blyton Noddy books, rather than any later TV adaptations (of which, as noted above, there have been several)?

The opening paragraph is just completely wrong - apart from anything else, the 2000s animated series isn't even called "Noddy", it's called "Make Way For Noddy". 217.34.39.123 16:19, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

True you are correct it is called "Make Way For Noddy"

[edit] Homosexuality

One of my friends told me that the Noddy series has been banned in Australia because Noddy and Big-Ears sleep in the same bed. Is this true? Fissionfox 12:14, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
