Make Way for Noddy is a musical CGI animated series for children, produced by Chorion of the United Kingdom in conjunction with SD Entertainment in the United States. Based on Enid Blyton's Noddy character, it originally aired in twelve minute segments as part of the Milkshake programme on Britain's Five, from September 2, 2002 to June 16, 2007. It was repeated until the beginning of 2016.

In 2005, a half-hour version was launched in the United States on PBS. This version combined two of the twelve minute segments with new material. Along with the story episodes featuring Noddy and his friends, the PBS format included two interstitial programs, a music video and footage of British television presenter Naomi Wilkinson from Milkshake! The Say it With Noddy interstitials featured Noddy learning various foreign language words from a robot named Whizz (voiced by Matt Hill). Although most of the Noddy characters had been re-dubbed to remove their English accents, Naomi spoke with a strong English accent, and used British English words and phrases in conversation.

No footage from this version has showed up in any form on the Internet. This version was also the basis for a version that aired on Korean television which featured Dorothy Nam (viewed below), which only contained only one of each segment.
