BBC Radio 4 - Desert Island Discs, Anne Wood

Children's TV producer Anne Wood is interviewed by Kirsty Young for Desert Island Discs.

Kirsty Young's castaway is the children's TV producer Anne Wood. 

Her creations - which include Teletubbies, Rosie and Jim and In the Night Garden - have delighted millions of children around the world. She says she is driven by her fascination with children's creative development - and was horrified by the critical response when Teletubbies was first screened. "I wanted to make a programme that had love in it," she says, "You'd have thought I'd started World War Three the response that happened - it's innocent fun, that's all it is." 

Producer: Leanne Buckle.
