He was the teddy bear with magic powers who was a cartoon favourite among royal princes and a generation of children - and now SuperTed is being brought back to life once again.
More than 35 years since his last show, his creators are set to sprinkle magic dust over SuperTed again and recreate him for a new audience.
Work on new episodes is expected to start later this year.
It is hoped SuperTed will be back on TV screens by 2023.
His return will be the latest cartoon comeback.

He may have started his TV career going through the round window in an iconic children’s TV show, but Iain Lauchlan remains a big favourite with a young audience.
Iain has written, directed and stars in Jack and the Beanstalk, a drive-in pantomime screening which will be screened with Pop Up Pictures at the Norfolk Showground from Saturday December 19 to Tuesday December 22.
Playing a number of characters in the show including the Dame and the Giant, he promises the show - set in Prickly Bottom during Lockdown 17.5 - will be a fun-filled experience.
