Roary the Racing Car, produced by Chapman Entertainment in Manchester, is to produce a second series of 52 ten minute animated shows for Channel Five and Nick Jr. The news series will be aired from 2009.
Chapman Entertainment’s Manchester base is also responsible for Postman Pat, Bob the Builder and most recently Fifi and the Flowertots.
 Stirling Moss and cheeky Roary was first broadcast in May last year and has proved to be a big success with the ‘under-five’ market (and their parents).
Peter Kay and Stirling Moss voice characters in the animation which stars Roary, a bright red, ‘cheeky and energetic single-seater racing car who likes nothing better than racing around with his race car friends at Silver Hatch Race Track’. Chapman has also sold rights to the new series to three continental broadcasters and is hoping to confirm others shortly.
The executive producer is Greg Lynn, managing director of Chapman Entertainment.
