Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, the Australian children's programming block ABC Kids would sometimes play idents of a weird purple CGI creature with a simpleton voice, pulsating eyes, three legs, and a butt shaped like the channel's logo.
It… was very uncanny looking.
As of 2024, only three of the idents seem to be archived online:

This is really important. Listen to this straight from Israeli government officials and their former Prime Minister. What we've known for years but been dismissed as conspiracy theorists - Netanyahu has been funding Hamas for years. He wants endless war so that Palestine will never have their own state. They also go into what Israel has done that led up to October 7th. See what life is actually like under Israel's "big brother" surveillance (their words, not mine). Watch what life under occupation is actually like...not the PR puff pieces that Israel and the IDF put out. Watch the full 45 minute special here:

Doctor Who Disney+ Deal May Be Bigger Than Anyone Thought
Is the new Disney+ Doctor Who deal bigger than anyone previously thought - a co-production deal giving the show much bigger budgets?
According to the Daily Telegraph, the BBC's Doctor Who deal with Disney+ is bigger than had previously been reported. They report this is in fact a co-production deal, with Disney+ co-financing in return for distribution rights and an element of creative input. The sums involved are considered commercially sensitive and thus have not been revealed, but this will certainly allow Doctor Who to command a budget beyond anything it has previously enjoyed.
This is a massive change for the show, which has previously been distributed by the likes of BBC America and ABC in Australia. It means that, for the first time, the entire world will see Doctor Who standing alongside the likes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars.
