Peppa brings home the bacon

Although times are tough for many of our favourite UK properties, especially in light of the Chorion problems as reported last week

But it seems that Peppa Pig is bucking the trend and is breaking records across the pond. Peppa has more than 500,000 two- to five-year-old viewers and a hugely successful toy deal after which has been available in the US for just seven
months. And let's not forget that she is a major factor behind Entertainment One's soaring share price, which has more than doubled in the past 12 months.

Yet one little piggy is not only successful in her British homeland, but is also bringing home the bacon stateside. She is Peppa Pig, star of the eponymous TV show that most pre-school parents think is the best kids' programme around.

With her family, including Daddy Pig – who in one episode declares a donkey talking French to be "speaking rubbish" – Peppa has more than  500,000 two-to five-year-old viewers and a toy deal after debuting in the  US just seven months ago. She is a major factor behind Entertainment One's  soaring share price, which has more than doubled in the past 12 months.
