Have been offered some 'merch' relating to these children's TV characters.
Do any of you parents of younger offspring have any feedback about the popularity of either programme.?

Back in the day there wasn't much I didn't know about the Tellytubbies or the Tweenies, but now my daughters are older it's all One Direction and Arctic Monkeys and ipads and facebook.

Any info greatly received, thanks
Clarky

For merchandise the Mike the knight stuff is probably more 'fun' since it's knights, dragons, castles and vikings. It's a yank show.

Octonauts is probably the discerning choice as it's educational about underwater creatures. It's fun but there's some learning in it too. It's a Brit show.

My daughter's 3 and watches both of them. TBF Mike the Knight is a bit of a spoilt wee tit that thinks he can do whatever he likes. I'd go with Octonauts.

Flappity flippers, Octonauts all the way imo. For a show aimed at 2-6 yr olds it's brilliantly well made, reasonably educational and even quite funny. TBH I only ever get to watch CBeebies nowadays so I do know what I'm on about here...
