Three Arrows has created a new series for CBBC - Hacker’s Ruff Guide to the World Cup - which sees the self-proclaimed Rufferee and Ben Cajee heading to St George’s Park - home of England’s preparation for the FIFA World Cup 2026. Madcap challenges and fact-filled games feature celebrities including Wayne Rooney, Ellen White, Alfie Watts, Maisie Adams, Bionic and Diamond from Gladiators, and many more - all for the purpose of getting the audience World Cup ready!
Commissioned for a special kids section of the BBC’s World Cup iPlayer page, and broadcast on the CBBC Channel, the 13 episodes feature BBC Sport World Cup archive have been an epic production effort to deliver on high editorial ambition in a short time-frame.
Exec Producer, Jon Hancock, says
“For any footy-fan under the age of 10yrs this will be the first men’s World Cup they will remember so it’s been a privilege to create a series that is going to capitalise on and fuel their excitement and anticipation for such an iconic event."
