Coming to UK TV screens in February is the new Mr Man - who is turning the air blue not only within the pages of the popular children's book, but also in high-ranking diplomatic circles. The reason? Gallic officials are reportedly put out by the character's distinctly french accent and serious flatulence issues.

Channel 5, who will be airing the programme, deny any blatent attempt to label the French people as either rude or flatulent, saying that it is just tongue-in-cheek. Decide for yourself by visiting the show's site at www.mrmen.com.
