Altrincham’s Mackinnon & Saunders is celebrating after hearing that CBBC has decided to take up the option of as second series of the firm’s animated comedy show Frankenstein’s Cat.
Stinky... but lovable
The show, which launched at the beginning of the year, has apparently been a hit with the public, many of whom have fallen for the “slightly stinky but strangely lovable fall-apart cat,” voiced by comedian Joe Pasquale.

The first series consisted of thirty 11-minute episodes and won distribution deals to markets including Spain, Israel, Australia, France and countries across Southeast Asia and Latin America.

CBBC is now looking for more of the same of a concept that controller Anne Gilchrist has called “completely unique, funny, freaky, fantastical.”

Responding to the news, Mackinnon & Saunders’ executive producer Peter Saunders said: “CBBC’s continuing enthusiasm for Frankenstein's Cat is excellent news for the whole team who worked so hard on the show.

“The quirky adventures of Nine (the cat) and his friend Lottie really have captured kids’ hearts and imaginations, and it’ll be great to embark on another series.”

Frankenstein’s Cat is a co-production between Mackinnon & Saunders and Kayenta Production of Paris.

The show has been championed by industry support body Northwest Vision and Media through its Regional Attraction Fund.
