Decode Entertainment has picked up Grandpa in My Pocket, taking the TV, DVD and consumer product rights to the live-ction comedy from Adastra Creative.

The 26 x 12 series is currently in the works for CBeebies and comes from creators Mellie Buse and Jan Page, whose credits include Angelina Ballerina, Little Robots and Thomas the Tank Engine.

Decode boss Neil Court praised the show and its creators. ‘We believe that Grandpa in My Pocket is absolutely unique: a scripted, live action series with lots of physical comedy that works for both children and their parents,’ he said in a release. ‘Mellie Buse and Jan Page have a great track record in writing imaginative and appealing kids shows.’
