The Animals of Farthing Wood

There is only one word to describe The Animals of Farthing Wood, and that is EPIC. Emma and I have been taking advantage of old school videos being out of fashion at the moment and have taking to picking up some pure VHS gold from Vinnies on the way home from uni of a Tuesday afternoon.

What I have noticed is just how heavy this show was for a children's program. The snake is constantly trying to eat the mouse's babies, the fox totally gets his shmooze on with the pretty lady fox, the small animals demand "self determination" and talk of overthrowing the reigning badger and the owl has said things like “You’ll have to accept that fox and rabbit are dead”.
What the? No wonder I thought it was intense as a youngster.
