Edward and Friends is a British children's claymation TV series produced by FilmFair that aired on British, New Zealand, Irish and Canadian television from 1987 to 1989. Each episode was 5-minutes in length and was based on LEGO's successful 1980s Fabuland theme. 26 episodes were produced. Edward Elephant was the main character in the show and the episodes were centred on him and his many friends including Bonnie Bunny and Max Mouse. It was LEGO's first foray into animation and television in general. Bernard Cribbins, Royce Mills, Bill Pertwee, and Sheila Steafel provided the voice-over for the show, written by Michael Cole with music by Mike Batt. Jeff Newitt, Jo Pullen, and Martin Pullen directed the series. Technical design was done by Gordon Tait, models by Heather Boucher, Pauline London, and Dave Witts, and editing by Rob Dunbar.
