Terry Deary’s True Time Tales
Based on the award winning authors’ popular books (Terry Deary is the second highest selling children’s author worldwide with 500 titles in print in 40 different languages), the 24 episode series takes children on a journey through time with funny stories from different pages of history.
Master Crook’s Crime Academy
Welcome back to school! This time, with a difference!
Terry Deary's Master Crook’s Crime Academy follows the adventures of Smiff Smith as he goes off to learn his trade at a new school for scoundrels! Learning to pick locks, pose as a penniless beggar, run away from the ‘bobbies on the beat!’ and a whole host of naughty mischief, Smiff never finds a school day boring!
Full of colourful characters in an ‘Oliver Twist’ style setting, at the time the first police officers were introduced to England, this truly is as much of a visual treat as an action packed one! Not to mention the hilarious and witty humour, beautifully constructed into every twist and turn of the story!
The side action of each episode is often just as entertaining as the actual storylines, with some of the local animals and 'extras' enjoying watching the new police force struggle to find their feet and being a good target for their banana-skins!
In the style of 'Ice Age' meets ‘Tim Burton’, Terry Deary's Master Crook’s Crime Academy is an animated 3D visual treat as well as an exciting adventure, every episode!
