Friends and Heroes

Over the past few years Alison and David Dorricott have been working hard on a Children's TV Series called "Friends and Heroes". It is an animated action-adventure story which introduces stories from the Old and New Testaments to ages 6-10. You can discover more about Friends and Heroes on their web site and on their Children’s website.

They are delighted that the first Series of 13 episodes is to be broadcast on the BBC2 on Tuesday mornings from September to December. The output is largely targeted at schools and The Stapleford Centre have worked with them to provide free lesson plans and pupil worksheets so that teachers will be able to use these programmes as part of the National Curriculum for all the countries in the British Isles.

They have worked hard to ensure that our programmes are not branded as "religious", so that they are accessible to the widest possible audience - whatever their faith. That said, they are sure that many folk in churches will be eager to make the most of this unique opportunity to see a positive representation of Bible Stories on National Television.
