New TV series has Launched!
Our new children’s TV series is finally here!
This original tale tells the story of Ola, a ten-year-old girl from Croydon who uses stories as a way to escape being in lockdown. This six-part series takes you around the world from the sunny beaches of the Caribbean to a mountain of fire in China, a 300-year battle in deepest Chile then finally the snow caped mountains of Poland before coming home to Croydon.

Each episode has its own unique storyteller and individual Illustration
We asked our director Norman Murray what the project was about
“ For me this story is about, how Ola and her family lift off the fog surrounding them to come out into the real world again and how they remember who they were before all this happened”
This is an original story for 10 years and above using storytelling, spoken word, poetry and illustration
