On Tuesday 1st Feb between 1 and 2pm we'll be joined by Controller of CBeebies, Kay Benbow. This weekend sees the launch of the new season of programmes on CBeebies. There will be some brand new shows in there - like Little Charley Bear and the upcoming animation Rastamouse - and some returning favourites. All will be revealed on Monday when we'll be linking to a trail for you to have a taste of what's coming up.

Kay was appointed Controller of CBeebies in May 2010, having worked in children's television for over 20 years. She was a producer on Tweenies and was insturmental in building the pre-school department as the CBeebies Channel was launched, devising and developing Tikkabilla and bringing in mumsnetter's favourite, Justin Fletcher.

Join us next Tuesday lunchtime or send a question to Kay in advance of the live chat to this thread.

If you'd like to hear more about the new season of programmes on CBeebies, watch the showreel. Do pass on your thoughts/questions to Kay.

Hi Kay,
My 2 youngest love Cbeebies as a whole, but in particular Octonauts. We have found it difficult to get merchandise (party invitations, as the most pressing example) as the market seems to be saturated with Disney products. Where can we get Cbeebies related toys and games etc?

P.s. Loved Rastamouse yesterday, Wha'gwarn!

We're delighted that Kay is here at Mumsnet Towers for the next hour to answer your questions. A big welcome to Mumsnet Kay.

Thank you Kay.

We've come to the end of the hour. Big thanks to all for joining in the discussion this lunchtime and many thanks to Kay for managing to get through so many of your questions today.
