Andy, what can we expect from The Tick Tock Time Machine

Fast paced, silly, interactive and musical for the kids. Fast paced, silly, interactive musical and nostalgic for the parents!

What did you want to be when you were little?

I think I wanted to be Superman, but I’d settle for Batman these days.

How did you and Mike end up making shows together?

Mikey and I have been friends since we were the size of a mere ant. We decided that because we both love children’s theatre and we both love messing around we thought why not put that into a show.

Any tips for kids wanting to become a performer themselves?

Absolutely, don’t do it because you want to be on TV. Do it because you want to express what you love doing and you want to share that with everyone and entertain them.

Describe the sort of kid that would love your show.

We hope all kids will get something out of our show whether it’s the clapping, the colours, the time machine, the songs, or even just the funny noises. It’s really family entertainment; we have tried to include something for everyone.

Will you and CBeebies Sid be doing a new 'Numbers' rap any time soon? It’s a classic.

Ha Ha Ha. Of course, we’re thinking of breaking into the rap world; Dizzee Rascal has been in contact.
