The Wind in the Willows

Everyone knows the tales of The Wind in the Willows, so I have posted the Cosgrove Hall stop motion classic for you to enjoy!  The series follows on from the feature film produced in 1983, made by the same production company.




The series is set at "The Riverbank", a mythical location somewhere in Berkshire. The Riverbank is where Ratty, Mole and Toad live. Nearby is the Wild Wood, where Badger and the Wily Weasels live.

The series stars David Jason as Toad and the Chief Weasel, Michael Hordern as Badger, Peter Sallis as Rat (replacing Ian Carmichael who voiced Rat in the original 1983 film), and Richard Pearson as Mole. Ian Carmichael remained in the series, re-cast as the narrator. The Chief Weasel was almost always accompanied by his unnamed bumbling henchman.




Badger, Ratty, Moley and Toad are all waiting for you!
