Just heard via Julian Cole on Twitter that Beached Whale, the hugely popular Youtube video featuring a beached Kiwi accented whale and a friendly seagull is to be made into an 11 part series with new characters. It will be shown first online and then aired on ABC1 and ABC2.

Read the full details about the Beached Whale series on the ABC blog.

If you’re not familiar with the video watch it below. If you are familiar with it – watch it again anyways – you know you want to.

Choice bro.
