Timothy Thomas (Irish and British Alliance)

Timothy Howard Thomas is the creator of the popular edutainment show Green City. He also animates the show, although he isn't alone. Although Scottish at birth, he had moved to London, England in 1963 for his business interests, which involved creating what would become Green City. He is Jewish, and for some of his life, he had a bullying problem. He had also had a fear of the Fourth German Reich once it emerged in 1977, and was worried that it would be like the Third Reich that he never knew too much about (after all, he was born in the same year that the Nazis were defeated and the Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler committed suicide) other than it was scary. Timothy is known for being environmentalist, explaining why Green City has a mostly environmentalist message. He is also known for being fond of raccoons, to the point that he had a caricature of himself as one, and it was also put into Green City. He never expected that Green City would ever be seen or heard of outside of Britain, but is proud that it has reached all over the world.

Early life
Timothy Thomas was born on the 1st of March, 1945, in Glasgow, Scotland. His mother was Claire Jonathan, and his father was Daniel Thomas. Daniel worked in the British army, and Claire worked to help children in need. Daniel and Claire were both Jewish, and it would be passed down to Timothy. Tim had been bullied in primary school for being Jewish, and had been mocked for a bit. However, it wouldn't last long once he told the teachers about it. Although he had been successful in his career, he didn't get very good grades in school as his teachers didn't get along with him too well, and he would feel bullied by the teachers.

Adulthood
In 1963, Tim would move to London, England, for his business interests. He was interested in creating a kids animated show that was both entertaining and educational, which was rare at the time. But this would later combine that and a environmentalist message because Timothy was (and still is) an environmentalist. In 1965, Timothy would meet Jaiden Bridget, and would marry her in 1966. Also that year was when the two would start helping each other make the project, and Jaiden would bring in her own ideas. In 1968, Tim and Jaiden joined the newly-formed Filmfair to further propel the project, and would pitch the pilot episode to the BBC. When they saw the pilot, they wanted to see it again, as it wasn't like any cartoon before it. And so, Season 1 would begin later that year.

Career
After Green City was accepted onto the BBC, he had become an animator for the show. He had experience in animation prior, but now he had to do it for real. He had animated the characters moving and the mouth movements. He had been pretty proud of his creation, and quite a few people were watching the show, including people who weren't children. But then in 1969, Screen Gems asked if they could distribute the show in the United States of America. Timothy never expected his show to go outside of Britain, but now he had quite a bit of attention on the show, now with an American company asking if his show can be exported outside of Britain. Because of this, he and his wife agreed to let Screen Gems distribute the show. Screen Gems chose to put it on PBS, as they didn't want to leave them behind with no Screen Gems content. It became a pretty big hit in the USA; bigger than in Britain, for sure. Afterwards, Timothy wanted to export it further, so he exported it to Canada and Australia afterwards. It was pretty big in Australia, but it was unstoppable in Canada. A lot of Canadians loved the show, and there were tales of Canadian adults gathering together to watch the show. Timothy never expected that reaction, and he with his wife agreed that they would export the show to all sorts of places. In 1974, Timothy created a caricature of himself as a raccoon, because he was really into the animal. In 1975, he put the character into the show, and even voiced him over. So essentially, Timothy appeared in the show, but not himself as in his actual self, just a raccoon caricature of himself.
