Fans of the beloved 90s children’s show ‘Tweenies’ may soon have reason to celebrate, as discussions about a potential reboot have surfaced two decades after the show ended.

Bob Golding, the voice behind characters Milo and Max, has revealed that the cast has been in talks about reviving the iconic show.

Golding told a news outlet: “I talk about it every day. I mean, I’d love it. I think it would work probably best as an animation now, with the characters, because they’re such strong characters. But it’s just a huge logistical process to get it back into a live-action show… there was over 100 people in the team.”

Golding suggested that while a full live-action revival might be challenging, an animated version of the show could be more feasible. “I think it would work now, but possibly on a smaller scale as an animation. But I’d love them to bring it back. I think we should petition the country to get them back. Get all the 20-something-year-olds together and say, look, we’re having kids now,” he added.

Despite the enthusiasm from the cast, formal talks with the rights holders, reportedly DreamWorks, have yet to begin. Golding said: “Obviously amongst us, we’re all saying they should do it, because I believe the rights are sitting in someone’s drawer at DreamWorks now.”

The Tweenies, which ran for 390 episodes and starred Bob Golding alongside Justin Fletcher, Sally Preisig, Emma Weaver, Colleen Daley, and Sinead Rushe, recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. The show, featuring beloved characters like Bella, Fizz, and Jake, remains a nostalgic favourite for many who grew up watching it.

In related news, Balamory, another iconic children’s show from 2002, has been renewed for two new series by the BBC.
