Marmalade sandwiches a Go-Go (Gadget) at Virgin Media

Virgin Media has brought an array of children's content from DHX Media to its On Demand service. Fans of Paddington Bear, Inspector Gadget and Caillou can now catch up on the adventures of their favourite characters at the touch of a button, making for perfect viewing over the summer holidays.

Straight from darkest Peru, Paddington Bear has found a new home on Virgin Media and can be seen hankering after his beloved marmalade sandwiches in Paddington's Birthday Bonanza, Paddington goes to the Movies and Paddington goes to School.

Younger viewers can also enjoy the first season of Caillou, which follows the adventures of Caillou with his family and friends in an innovative show that mixes animation, puppets and video of children in real-life situations to bring its stories to life.

Series one of Inspector Gadget has also joined the line-up, giving customers the opportunity to delve into the weird and wonderful world of the eccentric detective as he fends off dastardly doings by his arch-enemy, Dr. Claw.

The new content is currently available to customers with Virgin Media's M+, L or XL TV packages and will also be added to Virgin TV Anywhere, the award-winning1 cloud-based entertainment service, later this month, enabling Virgin Media subscribers to take the shows beyond the TV and access them through the web at no extra cost.

Nick Forward, Virgin Media's TV product director, said: We're delighted to bring iconic characters Paddington Bear, Inspector Gadget and Caillou into the homes of Virgin TV families. These charming and iconic shows are bound to put a smile on children and parents' faces alike and keep everyone entertained this summer.

The new shows join the vast collection of children's entertainment content already available on Virgin Media's TV platform. Additional content from DHX Media will be coming to Virgin Media's On Demand service in the next few months, so customers will soon be able to watch even more episodes of Paddington Bear, Inspector Gadget and Caillou as well as other exciting family favourites.
