Toronto, Canada’s Boat Rocker Rights has sold animated STEM series Bitz & Bob to broadcasters in Canada, Asia and Europe.

The BBC Children’s/Boat Rocker co-pro will bow later this year on TVO and Knowledge Network (Canada), EBS (South Korea), SVT (Sweden), NRK (Norway), YLE (Finland) and Hop (Israel). (France Television and Fox Latin America have previously picked up the series.)

Bitz & Bob (44 x 11 minutes) follows eight-year-old Bitz and her energetic younger brother as they explore the principles and science of engineering. The toon premiered on UK pubcaster CBeebies this past March.

Created by Daniel Bays, Bitz & Bob is animated by Jellyfish Pictures and executive produced by Vanessa Amberleigh (CBeebies) and Bob Higgins (Boat Rocker).
