The animals of Farthing wood
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
The animals of Farthing wood was a highly popular childrens television series first shown around 8 years ago . It detailed the plight of a group of woodland residents , of farthing wood . Farthing wood was to be demolished - the animals caught word of this and became panic striken . In good old english fashion they held a 'wood meeting' and formed a committe in order to discuss what they were going to do about it .
During this meeting who should return but toad - the long lost woodland resident who they had given up for dead . He came bringing wonderfull news of the place he had returned from . A place called white deer park - a nature reserve where animals and humans work alongside each other . ' Heaven' the solution was clear.
From this point on the animals took an oath not to ' eat swallow or otherwise consume any other living creature whilst on route to Toad's white deer park ' . With toad as guide and fox as leader they set off to white deer park .
It might be more than obvious that I very much enjoyed this programme - though now I am a little older I can fully appreciate the complexity - and the obvious moral message it held
