Binka was an animated children's cartoon about the adventures of a fat tomcat named Binka who frequently travels to three houses for three meals a day. The show was produced and screened in 2001, running for 26 five minute long episodes on weekday mornings. It can still be frequently seen as repeats on CBBC. Binka was thrust into the media spotlight after it was flagged by the Daily Mail for its supposed socialist undertones.
