Friends and Heroes on the BBC

Friends and Heroes, a UK produced animated adventure series for children, featuring Bible Stories from both Old and New Testaments, has just been given a schedule for its first UK broadcast on the BBC's CBBC channel. CBBC is now available in over 7 million homes on Freeview and a further 10 million on Cable and Satellite too. The weekly 'reach' of this channel is over 3 million viewers!

Based in a fascinating and turbulent period of history - the First Century AD - Friends and Heroes places children’s action-adventure stories within a vivid historical context. It will entertain, educate and inform the audience, introducing a new generation, whatever their faith, to the stories of the Old and New Testament. By setting the Bible stories in a living context, amongst the people who kept them alive as they passed them on ‘down the line’ to their own children, the series has a very a natural flow and pace.
