It was interesting to hear...

The bit that stood out was the Mr Men brand being sold off..But I still felt sad..seems like everything is sold off these days to companies abroad. e.g Cadburys..

Though the company has at least used the product to make new things like The Mr Men Show. Sooty was bought out at one stage and no new products, tv shows were made...so glad it was bought by someone who will use them Richard Cadell.
Thats the danger..

Anyway I'm glad the Mr Men are in safe hands..and by a company that is using them..
