Noddy's Toyland Adventures is a British children's television programme that was broadcast from September 1992 until April 1994 and December 1994 (and reran in 2000 on the Children's BBC block of the BBC). It is based on the character Noddy, created by English children's author Enid Blyton.
The show stars the voices of Susan Sheridan and Jimmy Hibbert. Each episode was written by Julia and Chris Allen respectively during its broadcast run. Paul K. Joyce composed the show's opening theme.
In North America, episodes were broadcast as part of a full thirty-minute program titled Noddy. The program featured the original UK animations re-dubbed with North American voices (broadcast in between all new live action segments), while Paul K. Joyce's soundtrack was replaced by a new score by Stacey Hersh, who also scored the live action part of the series. Nashville-based songwriter Dennis Scott composed 99 new songs for the live action segments, including the show's opening theme.
Universal released several of the re-dubbed Noddy animations on VHS (through USA Home Entertainment and PolyGram Video). These videos also featured songs written by Stacey Hersh and co-writer Ari Posner. This new series aired in the UK in 1999, under the title Noddy in Toyland (unrelated to the 2009 series of the same name); the original British soundtrack was used - however the live action segments were unaltered for original cut.
