64 Zoo Lane is a children's television programme created by An Vrombaut. It features a girl called Lucy who lives next to a Zoo. Every night she is told a story by the animals present there. Characters include Georgina the Giraffe, Nelson the Elephant, Tickles and Giggles the monkeys and Molly the hippopotamus. The programme emphasises friendship and responsibility. After the story ends Lucy is normally asleep (certain episodes have her yawning then sleeping in bed, when she's asleep by the end of the normal episodes, she was lulled to sleep by the story), and Georgina puts her in bed.
Originally shown in the United Kingdom as part of the BBC's CBeebies lineup for children, it is now also shown in the United States on Noggin (however, since July, 2006 it is being shown intermittently at 6am Eastern/3am Central, something Noggin has done with its other U.K. import shows in the past while deciding whether to permanently keep them on the schedule or not, which may be a sign that the show will soon disappear from the channel). In the U.S. version, Lucy's voice is given an American makeover, but the voices of the animals and the theme song remain with British accents. The British version features the voice of Hollyoaks actress Ciara Janson.

In the UK at the moment the situation is unusually fraught and my own project, 64ZooLane, is caught up in it.
64ZooLane is a series for younger children created by the award-winning director of Little Wolf, An Vrombaut.
64ZooLane was offered to the Network Centre in November 1995 and to date we have heard no news, except that it is on a shortlist, the same shortlist where many other good projects have been languishing, some of them for up to two years.
