 Aired: 1970 - Unknown
Show Type: Animated
Country of Origin: UK
A spin-off from the The Herbs, this series starred Parsley the humble lion
and his energetic friend Dill The Dog. It was set in the same secret garden as
the original series but dispensed with the opening introduction and "Herbidacious!"
entrance in favour of a spoof of MGM Studios' lion logo, featuring Parsley's head...
Episodes boiled down to 5-minute music-hall vignettes. Parsley and Dill
would get up to some mischief, embark on some great crusade or t'other,
and normally encounter one of the other herbs. Things would then wrap up
with a droll remark from our Parsley, or a knowing wink to the 'audience'.
It was all quick clean fun, as ever beautifully animated by Ivor Wood, and
delivered in the same deadpan appealing manner as the original by voice
man Gordon Rollings. Trivia Hounds will note that it's in this series that
Parsley actually speaks - in the original show he merely reacts to events
around him...
