TV and web writer and Twitter personality Colm Tobin’s ‘Science Fiction’ animation series has been selected by the UK distribution firm Aardman at MIPCOM in Cannes.
The science-themed cartoon is aimed at eight to 12 year-olds and attempts teach science through the medium of comedy.

‘Science Fiction’ is presented by young scientist Dr Sorcha Knowles alongside Professor Mike McCork and a supercomputer called Bud-E is used to dispel common myths surrounding.
Tobin – not to be confused with novelist Colm Tóibín – writes about TV and politics and is a popular figure on Twitter.
