US children's programme Sesame Street is celebrating its 39th series by going high definition.
Airing in the US from 11th August, the Sesame Workshop's production has been helped in part by Sony, which has provided high definition cameras and switches.
"The decision to shoot in HD has been so exciting because it has brought 'the Street' to life, making our neighborhood of adults, children, monsters, grouches and 8-foot birds come alive," said Carol-Lynn Parente, executive producer of Sesame Street.
Whether we'll ever get to see Big Bird or Bert and Ernie in high-def in the UK we will have to wait and see, but there's no doubt that technological advances in childrens TV are being taken just as seriously as TV for us big kids.
