Topsy is more gung-ho than Tim and there’s a real zest about her. She’s usually a real carefree chatterbox, giggly and very fidgety. She is open and trusting and hates confrontation. If she’s ever under pressure then she would always give in. The best thing is being the main girl role! And I like that Topsy is a really adventurous character.

Gareth and I both studied illustration at Goldsmiths Art College and married in 1957. Soon after we decided to create a new series of children’s books. We decided there would be no magic or fantasy in the books. Topsy and Tim would strike out into the new unexplored territory of real life and the main characters, Topsy and Tim, would have equal roles. Gareth wrote the first stories with great charm and wit and I illustrated them. Having taught design and illustration at Goldsmiths I was able to put a lot of thought and sophisticated design techniques into the illustrations. The characters of Topsy and Tim were carefully constructed to be instantly recognisable little icons and the illustrations had a bright, uncluttered look, but plenty of texture. Firstly by Bevanfield Films for BBC Studios Home Entertainment, 60 episode 5 minute animated series narrated by Roger Blake and was shown on ITV.

I thought what delightful, charming, friendly and articulate children they both are. I came away feeling confident that they will do an excellent job in bringing my two little characters to life. The original Topsy And Tim books were created and written by husband and wife team, Jean and Gareth Adamson. The first of the books was published in 1959. Sadly Gareth died in 1982 but Jean continues to be involved with the Topsy And Tim series of books and their adaptation for television. Here she tells us a bit more about the popularity of the books and what it feels like to see her characters brought to screen for the first time in over 50 years. Tim thinks before he acts (unlike Topsy who is more impulsive). Although he is a thinker, this doesn’t mean he is a serious child in general as he loves to explore, laugh and tumble. Tim’s inclination to think leads to a tendency to turn quiet, even over-react when he’s faced with changes to his everyday life and routine.

Cast Q

It’s great. I’ve enjoyed meeting the children who play the other characters and it’s nice they have become my friends. Yes! It will be brilliant and weird! I look really different in real life, I don’t have a fringe like Topsy’s! At that time, not so terribly long after the end of the war, England was just waking up, bright colours were coming in, there was a lovely optimistic feeling in the air. So I said “Why don't we do books with real live little children in, with the little adventures and so on that they have in the house or in a whole wide new entire world?” [2] Television series [ edit ]
