A NEW animation series arriving today on a television screen near you is
set to win the hearts of children (both young and old) across the
country. The series of 26 episodes follows the adventures of Ernie, a
supervisor at International Underground station, and his escapades
working with a busy network of Underground trains.

To catch Ernie in action, the series is being screened every weekday for
four weeks from today on BBC2 at 9am and at 4.30pm on CBeebies.

Paul, you've got to get out more!

Oh I don't know Ivan. As Ian J said I think it'd be safe to say that
Underground Ernie will be a damn site more entertaining that half the
drivel that passes for normal programming.

I made the post because I recall there being a mention when the series
was first announced a number of months ago and also because there are
posters on almost every tube platform advertising the series!

I did record the episode yesterday just to see what it was like. There
were several moments when the cartoon antics were perilously close to
what can pass for reality at LU at times ;-)
