Mellie Buse said “The original aim of Bogglesox was to produce niche, experimental content, largely created by the Skillset trainees, but it has become apparent in recent months that there is a huge appetite for both our original and third-party programming. As the exclusive UK home of Grandpa and featuring shows like Ha Ha Hairies we are now attracting a rapidly growing audience and we look forward to further upscaling the platform showcasing new content.”
