Australia's ABC to premiere Andy Lee’s new family series "Do Not Watch This Show!"

Andy Lee’s new animated series "Do Not Watch This Show!" premieres on Friday 4 July on ABC iview. Based on Lee’s best-selling book series "Do Not Open This Book", the twelve-episode program features Wizz, a blue monster who refuses to accept that he is the star of a TV show and is desperate for kids to switch it off. Wizz, voiced by Lee, goes to hilarious lengths to deter his audience, which only makes him more appealing.

The all-star cast features Denise Scott, Joel Creasey, Kura Forrester and Dave Hughes, with art direction by the book’s illustrator Heath McKenzie. The series also features cameos from Hamish Blake, Glenn Robbins, Carrie Bickmore, Tony Armstrong, Pete Smith, Broden Kelly, Jack Post, Rebecca Harding, Mick Molloy, Ben Fordham and Chrissie Swan.

The series is Lee Bones Production for ABC with major production investment from Screen Australia in association with ABC and VicScreen.

"Do Not Watch This Show!" is directed by Leo Baker, produced by Patrick Crawley and written by Andy Lee, Jason Marion, Katie Westcott, Melanie Bracewell and Ray Matsen. Lee Bones/Frank Worldwide Sales is in charge of the International Sales.
