The Animals of Farthing Wood | |
|
In an increasingly dangerous world, woodland animals learn to co-operate in order to survive. In the third series, they faced their greatest challenge not from humans but from an army of bullying, imperialistic rats.
Based on the novels of Colin Dann, this innovative children's show brought depth and ideas to children's TV. Made by Telemagination in 1996, original scripts for all 13 episodes of its third series were written by Steve Walker.
