Wiggles take off their skivvies

AFTER 17 years together, Australia`s richest entertainers The Wiggles have produced a TV show that won`t require them to wear a coloured skivvy.

For the first time, they have put together a project outside their famous children`s singing group and plan to market it around the world.

The brainchild of Blue Wiggle Anthony Field and his brother Paul, who is also the group`s producer and director, The Kingdom of Paramithi (Greek for fairytale) is a children`s program based on telling the story of well-known nursery rhymes.

With 30 half-hour episodes already in the bag, the Fields will present the finished product at the prestigious MIPCON conference in France, the world market for TV sales, next week. The show will debut locally on Channel 9 on November 10.
