The Big Knights

Hello Blog. Somewhere way back in the mists of time I think I mentioned "The Big Knights" - an animated C-BBC series by Neville Astley and Mark Baker. It is still one of my favourite animated series' and I was delighted to find that some of the episodes have been put up on youTube!

All the characters are so unique and appealing! I also really like that the plotlines are clever and fun, whilst being sophisticated at the same time. There is no dumbing down of the story at all, and yet it is always super clear what is happening. This is masterful stuff hiding in the guise of mid-afternoon children's entertainment.

Please take the time to watch one.... or eight. They're not available on DVD - the BBC sat on the rights and never released them but for half of the episodes on lame-o VHS. What a terrible shame.

Anyway. Enjoy, blog!
