SUMMER 2011 ISSUE4 FOR THOUSANDS MORE IDEAS VISIT WWW.PRIMARYTIMES.NET

Jim Driscoll’s life story is truly a tale of rags to riches. 30 years ago, he was busy fi nding new homes for unwanted and neglected toys that were bought as Christmas presents. He was a small-town man with big ideas. One day, he had an idea about a group of shoes and boots that had adventures. This idea became The Shoe People, the international hit of the late 1980s.

Now, Jim is once again working hard, developing new stories for children like you. Working with illustrator Rob Lee who drew Fireman Sam, SuperTed and, of course, The Shoe People, Jim has invented The Barbearians.

The Barbearians is a series about a group of teddy bears who come to life in an old American theme park. We met up with Jim to learn more about The Barbearians, his processes of writing and his plans for the future.

What is The Barbearians about?

There’s a shoot-em-up stall in this old, run-down theme park where the prizes are old teddy bears that are falling apart. Their eyes are falling off, their stitching is coming undone, and their stuffi ng is falling out. They’re unloved. They have been discarded and thrown into a storeroom. One night, during a storm, a lightning bolt strikes the bears and they come to life. They shake themselves off and begin their adventure. Life is not all fun and games for the Barbearians though. Throughout the

series, the bears come across rivals and enemies who are out to destroy them. The Gangster Hamsters and the Cosmic Clowns make it their mission to ensure that the Barbearians don’t step on their turf. It’s an action series for boys and girls age six upwards.

Do you base your characters on real people?

Some of my characters have been given names of people and places that are loved by me. I did a series called Oggies, which was set in Cornwall so all of the characters had Cornish names like Bondi Bruce and Fistral Freddie.

After The Shoe People, did you feel pressure to come back with something even bigger and better?

After The Shoe People, I took some time off. I dabbled in the music business, did some property development and started up a company that deals with rights for cartoons. After a while though, I got itchy feet. In 2008 I got a phone call from

an old friend who was interested in what I was

up to. I told him about this idea that was in

my head about these teddy bears that live in

an old theme park and he loved it. We got the concept together, I got in touch with

Rob Lee who drew The Shoe People, and it all started to come together. There is always pressure

to do well in this industry: if people

don’t like what you have written or drawn, they will

tell you. If you put yourself out there though, many doors can be opened.

Where do you get your ideas from for your stories?

With The Shoe People, the idea had been knocking around in my head for a long time. At the time, I was working with mail order surplus, selling unwanted toys. The idea came to me about old,

unwanted shoes and boots that had been abandoned and had to create lives of their own. The lead character, Trampy, was the one who had been there and done everything. If any of the other shoes had a problem, they went to Trampy. Then there was Charlie, Sergeant Major, Margot and Wellington. Once you get an idea in your head for one character or one storyline, the

rest just tends to fall into place.

Do you feel a duty to help others develop their ideas, now that you have had such success with your own?

Yes, I do. I have a close relationship with the Visual Arts School at Birmingham City University, giving the students a platform from which they can develop and grow their

ideas. I have also recently set up a company called Awesome Brands. We aim to fi nd young creative designers and artists and help them on their way. They will submit designs to us, and we will help them sell their work on the Awesome Brands website and put them in touch with the right people to help them progress even further. I also like to include my grandchildren. They are

my testing panel. When I have an idea, I run it passed them. They also help me to choose the colours and clothes for the characters. They are great judges.

Speaking of your generosity, you gave The Shoe People to the Soviet Union. How did that relationship come about?

I met the President of the Soviet Union, President Gorbachev and

told him about The Shoe People. It was my gift to the children of the Soviet Union. At the time, there was a shortage of paper to print books, so they released enough paper to print eight million Shoe People books. We gifted them more paper and ended up selling over 20 million books. The Shoe People was the fi rst children’s series from the West to have worked in the Soviet Union. It was a special time, a very emotional time. It taught me that you can’t take anything for granted.

Do people approach you for help with their stories and ideas?

I am constantly getting phone calls and emails from people. Most people have a good idea at least once in their life: the trick is recognising it and knowing what to do with it. If people need a helping hand in getting their idea off the ground, I am happy to help. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the help of some very generous people. I owe a lot to those people.

Jim is currently working on a pilot episode for The Barbearians. Keep your eyes and ears open for more news. We will keep you posted!

SAFE SAFE SAFE BUT STAY

Safety is of the utmost importance when it comes to playing or swimming in or around water. Whether it’s in a swimming pool or at the seaside, being safe and knowing what to do is vital. Just read our helpful guide.

At the seaside:

• Parents: Always supervise children when they are in, or near water

• Only swim in the designated safe areas indicated between red and yellow fl ags

• Always read the conditions board, usually available at the lifeguard station, to check for tide times

• Never swim if the conditions are rough

• Never swim alone, always take a friend. It’s best to

swim in groups of three. If one person gets

into trouble, one person can

go for help while the

other

person stays with the person in trouble

• Swim parallel to, and not away from, the shore when swimming long distances

• Watch out for jellyfi sh, urchins, coral, or any other dangerous elements that could injure you

At the pool:

• Always wait an hour after eating before swimming

• Make sure you have access to a phone when near water in case of emergencies

• Always test the water depth before jumping or diving in. It is safer to lower yourself into the water from a sitting position, even if you can see the bottom

• Leave the water if you start to feel cold

• If you feel unsafe at any point, call out to the lifeguard

If you or anyone else gets into trouble:

• Dial 999, ask for the police at inland water sites or the coastguard if you are at the beach

• Always put your own safety fi rst. Never jump in to help, as there is a risk a drowning

person may be strong

enough to pull you under the water

• If it is safe to help, without putting yourself in danger, try to reach the person with a stick or long object. Lie down at the water’s edge to avoid being pulled in and try to reach the person

• Test the depth of the water with a stick before entering the water, to ensure the depth is safe for you. Use the stick to reach out to the person
