over 1 year in Ballymena & Antrim Times
A giant Morph appeared in London overnight to the delight of nostalgic passers-by.Towering over commuters in Tower Bridge this morning, the three-metre-high statue of the timeless ‘70s stop-motion character popped-up to take city workers by surprise.While in Shoreditch, passers-by were left scratching their head’s trying to crack the world’s largest Where’s Wally puzzle which was created in the dead of night.And others also spotted a giant illuminated Miffy sculpture on Southbank.The three installations were commissioned by Sky Kids to celebrate the launch of its 24-hour channel for youngsters under seven.The broadcaster also conducted a survey of 2,000 adults which saw Morph claim the bronze medal in the list of most loved British children’s TV characters – narrowly missing out on top spot to Basil Brush and the winners, Sooty and Sweep.While Winnie the Pooh and Paddington Bear rounded off the top five favourite British childhood characters.
