In 2005, a set of 100 new two-minute TV interstitials were created by Chorion. These interstitials, entitled Say it with Noddy, feature Noddy learning words in a variety of foreign languages. They also introduced Noddy's new friend Whizz from Robot Village, who presses a button on his chest to play recordings of native speakers saying the new foreign words Noddy was to learn. The interstitials were featured on commercial breaks on Five and featured as segments for the American release of the show on PBS and Sprout. Blyton capitalised upon her commercial success as an author by negotiating agreements with jigsaw puzzle and games manufacturers from the late 1940s onwards; by the early 1960s some 146 different companies were involved in merchandising Noddy alone. [92] In 1948 Bestime released four jigsaw puzzles featuring her characters, and the first Enid Blyton board game appeared, Journey Through Fairyland, created by BGL. The first card game, Faraway Tree, appeared from Pepys in 1950. In 1954 Bestime released the first four jigsaw puzzles of the Secret Seven, and the following year a Secret Seven card game appeared.

Bumpy is highly excitable and will rush at friends, but is loyal, and has sensitive feelings if scolded by Noddy or anyone else.

In the original books, it was clear that she, like Mr. Tubby Bear, are the superiors of Noddy, as if they are adults and he is a child, mainly because Noddy always refers to them as "Mr. and Mrs. Tubby Bear". Like Mr. Tubby Bear, first name is unknown. A time comes in peoples' lives when they have to make great decisions and this is one of them. What's to be done?

Sales of Noddy books are large, with an estimated 600,000 annual sales in France alone, and growing popularity in India, a large market for Blyton books. The Noddy character was formerly owned by Chorion, who sold the rights on to DreamWorks Classics (a part of DreamWorks Animation which now a subsidiary of NBCUniversal) in 2012.

IDW's The Transformers introduced the character of "Tappet", a robot who is based on Noddy visually and clearly transforms into Noddy's classic car. Blishen speaks in relative terms — surely all children and their associated toys and reading matter can be classed as feeble when adults compare them with their own interests. By the same token, children, if they had the sophistication, could describe grown-ups' play-things and reading matter as complicated and boring. It seems that some adults can't help criticizing children for their propensity to be childish so I must remember to include a little Proust when the kids require a bedtime story.

Noddy is driving to the train station to collect a precious parcel for Miss Pink Cat, but the Goblins steal it before Noddy arrives. Can Big Ears and Noddy catch the Goblins and return the precious parcel to Miss Pink Cat? Many adults think that Noddy Rules OK as well and perhaps this could be attributed to the 'Nostalgia' aspect. The books we read when we were small can hold a great influence over us in later years. I'm sure I would have related really well to the Beatrix Potter books had I been familiar with them in early childhood but I wasn't introduced to those classics and I didn't have Noddy when I was very young either so I related to Christopher Robin and tales like The Adventures of the Wishing Chair and The Folk of the Faraway Tree plus my very earliest school books which are well remembered and re-read every now and again. One book can be well-loved — but a series of books is better because they can provide a longer period of withdrawal from the complexities of the present-time and allow the reader to enjoy living for a while in a safe and predictable world of familiar characters and surroundings. I didn't get all that much out of Noddy when I first read about him because I wasn't of the target age but the pictures are colourful and the books are easy to read and one must remember that the little nodding man exists primarily for children of a younger age — three years, four years, five years or perhaps a little older. In 1920, Blyton moved to Chessington and began writing in her spare time. The following year, she won the Saturday Westminster Review writing competition with her essay "On the Popular Fallacy that to the Pure All Things are Pure". [13] Publications such as The Londoner, Home Weekly and The Bystander began to show an interest in her short stories and poems.
