Ben Faulks’ new company – Egg Power – will focus on developing and creating its own original IP; first venture is A Mug of Tea with Emory.
Best known for co-creating and starring in CBeebies hit, Mr Bloom’s Nursery, Ben Faulks has launched his own production company.
Egg Power Productions – which will make its debut at this year’s virtual Kidscreen Summit – will focus on developing and creating its own original IP, both for the domestic UK and international markets.
The first show developed in-house at the new venture is A Mug of Tea with Emory – a 52 x 7-minute live-action series for three to seven year olds that invites viewers to join the host, Emory (played by Ben Faulks), for an imaginative tea break that’s full of fun and comedy.
The show has been inspired by the fact that, for young children, spending quality time with family and those close to them is vital for their wellbeing and development.
“After having spent over a decade working on the Mr. Bloom brand with CBeebies, I’m incredibly excited to have established Egg Power Productions and be bringing our first show to Kidscreen 2021,” commented Ben. “It’s my first time at a virtual market and I think the Kidscreen team have done a fantastic job in bringing people together, to share in ideas and allow the event to flourish in an online capacity.
“With all of us spending more time with our children over the last year, A Mug of Tea with Emory feels incredibly timely – and a reminder that a little time, well spent, goes a long way.”
