SOUND THE OCTO-ALERT!

The Octonauts brought home the IFTA for Best Children's Programme on Saturday night!

Brown Baggers were decked out in their finery at the Awards Ceremony in the Double Tree by Hilton venue, getting up to all sorts of antics including IFTA selfies…

We also happened to *bump* into Steve Coogan and Philomena Lee!

“We’re delighted to bring an IFTA home to the studio today; on behalf of the Octo-team here in Brown Bag Films and our colleagues in Silvergate Media led by Kurt Mueller, Adam Idelson, Head Writer Stephanie Simpson, and of course the creators Meomi, Michael Murphy and Vicki Wong. The Octo-team brought an immeasurable amount of skill, talent and hard work to the show;  it’s gone on to become a global success, but recognition here at home from IFTA is particularly satisfying.” – Octonauts Director, Nicky Phelan

The Octo-team are delighted with the win and gathered around for a groupshot with the IFTA statuette:

Thanks to all our friends and all the fans of the show for your continued loyalty and support!

Now if you don't mind us we'll continue bouncing off the walls!!
