A charity is joining forces with the producers of the Teletubbies to launch a series of films for young people in the North-East.

Two films from Save the Children and Ragdoll will be premiered at The Odeon, in Newcastle, on Tuesday.

The project, What Makes Me Happy, is a series of short films for television based on children's experiences and ideas. They demonstrate the strength and power that children have when living against the odds.

The films are Tommy's Film, shot on the Cowgate Estate, Newcastle, and Ranjita's Film, shot in the village of Lumle, Nepal.

The premiere is to thank children and families on the Cowgate Estate and in Newcastle for their help in making Tommy's Film.
