I think he'd be perfect for the kids' book character.

were the books very popular?
Big in the 70s, when he wrote several more, reviving the character from an initial one-off book from back in the 1930s.
Two '30s books actually. 'The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm' (1933) and 'Professor Branestawm's Treasure Hunt' (1937).
Well, a huge part of the show is nostalgia, and the cast would be one that adults would appreciate. I actually think we'll end up with something along the lines of The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff Christmas special we had a few years ago... a sort of kid's show for adults, and I really believe it will be amazing.
Hopefully more of this will be made. We need more old fashioned nonsense like this.
...and no, it shouldn't have been on CBBC, it's Christmas Eve... it's for kids, but like I said... on a bit late.
