Those of you that miss seeing Jamie Oliver (aka The Naked Chef) on a regular basis, will be happy to know that he's signed on to do another show. Only this time, instead of appearing in the flesh, he'll appear as a cartoon version of his 10-year-old self.
In a joint effort between his production company Fresh One Productions and Wallace and Gromit creators Aardman Animations, Jamie will appear as a cartoon aimed towards seven to eleven-year-olds. The series will feature Jamie on a quest to becoming a truly great chef. Along the way he'll interact with a world filled with talking food and other unusual characters such as Eggs Benedict — a mad scientist, obviously.
"I can't tell you how passionate I am about kids and food," said Oliver.
"I really want to pass on a little knowledge in a fun way, to really connect to the younger kids, so teaming up with the incredible Aardman Animations to produce Little J was an absolute must."
As of now, the 52-part series does not have a broadcaster, but I have a feeling we'll see it soon enough.

37-11 year olds, my aunt Fanny!!! I think lots of adults, including myself will really like this. Jamie Oliver plus the creators of Wallace and Gromit FTW!
4jamie oliver is awesome!
5I'm sorry but this style of animation is nightmare-ish to me!!! I really don't enjoy looking at it.
6What a great and innovative idea! Too bad I don't have any kids to have an excuse to watch this, I will have to secretly Tivo it I guess haha.
7What a fun job!
8dh931- I agree
I'm an artist and I find it terrifying looking. Maybe its because its a small image?
And OK... his character meets all these food people... then he eats them??? I mean hey... if its a world of talking food... somebodys gonna get eaten.
I like the IDEA of it in general...maybe it will teach kids to eat healthy?
But it seems a little on the creepy side even for me.
