Hello

hello – come in and make yourself at home

The Woodies have a blog. It’s a kind of collective. Not sure we’re about to start a revolution baby, but we might kindle a small debate or two and perhaps raise a smile. Anyway, rather than just blogging corporate Woodreed by fielding our top Woodie (as so many other companies seem to do in a thinly veiled attempt at impressing with their profundity), we wanted all our individual voices to be heard. An agency’s most valuable assets are its people after all. Everyone’s got something to say here and with us everyone’s ideas and opinions matter.

Each week someone different will be blogging. It's mostly about stuff that rocks our world as well as the flipside – the things that just don't cut it with us. We'll blog about inside and outside – inside this glorious industry where we work and outside in the real world.
It's a bit of an experiment, so go with us on this one.

Hope you enjoy.

Who would have been your favourite?



We all have a favourite animated character from our childhood and it's always a good topic to debate and reminisce amongst friends.

Paddington Bear was named Britain's favourite animated character at the British Animation Awards which were held last night after an online public vote.

The bear; with the hard stares for anyone that he didn't approve off, whose favourite food was marmalade sandwiches was adopted by the Brown family and got his name after arriving at Paddington Station after travelling from deepest darkest Peru. I can still remember the title music and am humming the tune to myself whilst I'm typing (think it's been a bit of a long week!!).

Some of the characters on the shortlist were: Roobarb & Custard, Bagpuss, Wallace and Gromit, Danger Mouse, Penfold, Timmy from Timmy Time, The Snowman, Mr Benn, Count Duckula, Morph, Super Ted, Postman Pat, Tiny Clanger, the Soup Dragon, Noggin the Nog, Uncle Nogbad, Lola from Charlie and Lola, and Peppa Pig.

I would have been torn between Bagpus, Roobard & Custard, Morph and the Clangers...........So who would have been your favourite or can you think of any others that should be on the shortlist for next year?

For any of you Paddington Bear fans I've attached a link to the Official Paddington Bear site http://www.paddingtonbear.com/home.html

    Every time I watch "The Snowman", it brings a lump to my throat. With it's beautiful music, it completely evokes the mystery and magic of Christmas in a very simple way. Wouldn't we all as children have loved it if we knew the the snowmen we made came to life? Briliiant.
