So I was just looking on the Wikipedia article for Wizadora, and there's a piece of lost media I'm really fascinated in, there was apparently a reboot in 2003 by a company called "Entertainment Rights", the reboot was cancelled and/or Never Picked Up, but apparently a 9 minute pilot was produced. It was for Channel 5's Milkshake, and Anne Foy was going to be the new Wizadora. However, there is no citation for this on the Wikipedia article and everywhere I look there's no evidence for it.
I'd love to see what this Reboot would have looked like, the reason why it was cancelled was according to the article "Too Costly". I think the real thing was, was that in 2003 CBeebies in it's early years debuted shows such as Fimbles. And I think because Wizadora was a very old brand, I personally don't think the reboot would have stood out from other TV Shows.
To Do: Contact Anne Foy and see if she recalls working on the Reboot, find newspaper clippings that can be used as a citation.
This is very fascinating and I Hope there will be a way to find out if it exists.
Just look inside your heart, and you will find the answer.

NOTE 1: Entertainment Rights was the company behind the Cosgrove Hall seasons of Postman Pat, and later renamed Classic Media. NOTE 2: Milkshake was airing other shows such as Mechanick and Bear in the Big Blue House, and the pilot was never picked up. NOTE 3: This might have been Anne Foy's debut, later best known as a presenter on CBBC from 2004 to 2007. NOTE 4: CBeebies might have turned it down, due to their other new shows like Tikkabilla, Balamory, Fimbles and Little Robots. NOTE 5: How do we get in contact with Anne Foy???
