Sesame Street to be made in urdu

Sesame Street now in Pakistan....

Kids are very special, and make up a huge chunk of viewers, and now our Producers have realized it.

There isn't much child oriendted content on our local channels, but if news is to be believed then US Aid has donated $20m to the country to create a local urdu version of "Sesame Street".The show is to be filmed in Lahore and aired later in the year.The show will be set in a village in Pakistan - rather than the streets of New York - with roadside tea shop and residents sitting on their verandas.he remake will star a puppet called Rani, the six-year-old daughter of a peasant farmer, with pigtails and a school uniform.Targeting five to nine year olds, the series will run on PTV and regional language channels.

So kids, isn't this news great? We hope this show will able to create history just like the original.
