"We had no idea it was going to be such a phenomenon,” says Frances of Peppa Pig – the British cartoon that’s become a multibillion-dollar global brand, with viewers in 180 countries (and a spin-off theme park beloved of the Prime Minister). “It was a big risk for the creators, especially taking it to Channel 5 instead of the BBC. Nobody had any idea it was going to take off in the way it did.”
