'A high-energy, hilarious, spy show with all the right ingredients featuring three extraordinarily talented 10-year old girls named Bobby, Lola and Juliette. Seemingly ordinary school-age children who have been selected by the B.I.A. (Bee Intelligence Agency) for those special spy missions in which only child agents can be used. Together the girls are known as the Berry Bees.'

'World explorer Augustus Skinner has died! Now, his three young teen grandsons have inherited the big, old Skinner Mansion and its contents. But Grandfather Skinner also left them a big surprise… the Skinner Boys are now Guardians of the Lost Secrets… a collection of unique artefacts across the world that possess incredible powers.

'An even bigger surprise is in store! Grandpa Skinner also appointed a fourth Guardian a long lost cousin, the feisty teenage Tara. And as these boys know almost nothing about girls – she’s probably their biggest challenge of all. And vice-versa. As the anonymous Guardians of these artefacts, Tara and the boys must dedicate their lives to protecting them against the forces of evil that would corrupt their powers and endanger the planet. In the wrong hands, the fabled Skull of Medusa could turn a whole army to stone. The legendary philosopher’s stone, which turns any metal into gold, could make its owner wealthy and powerful beyond belief. This is the legacy of Grandpa Skinner.

'But these unsuspecting kids have a secret weapon – their youth. Nobody would ever guess that four goof-ball teens would be capable of outsmarting the powerfully evil Shadow League and protecting the world.

'It’s like handing the keys to the world to an erratic teenager. Times four.'

In a future in which alien insects crawling through the galaxy create a dangerous rift between man and nature, Dex Hamilton, entomologist and adventurer, is called into action, along with 'frog boy' Tung and fellow scientists Zap and Jenny 10. However, a super-villain is secretly creating superbugs that could destroy all life as we know it.

Dex Hamilton: Alien Entomologist was an Australian and Canadian co-production.

Animated series for children based on the Gasp! series of pictue books by Terry Denton. The program explores family relationships through the medium of the family pets, who are left alone each day as their family goes out to work and school.

Based on Matt Zurbo and Dean Gorissen's picture book, I Got A Rocket! follows the adventures of a slightly lonely boy named Vinnie Q, whose inventor father presents him with an anthropomorphised rocket, Rocket. Though the appearance of Rocket does increase Vinnie's popularity, he still needs to deal with his timidity around Maya Kovsky (on whom he has a crush), the misbehaviour of the trio of bullies known as the Duckies, and the over-enthusiasm of a loyal best friend who is, after all, not human.

'It's hard work when you're 12 years old, and have to look after your mother - who has just turned two. It's frustrating being a runaway in search of your family - with only a faded photo to go on. And it's absolutely DEADLY knowing that the seeds of a blue tea plant have been washed into the river system, and any moment now plants will grow that can keep people young forever.

'But at least Amy and Sprocket have each other. Together they'll bring up Toddler Mum as best they can, they'll fight Pooper Scooper and his malevolent family, and they'll find every one of those mutating tea plants before they can destroy the world.'
