‘Willo the Wisp: The Complete Series' is coming to DVD and Blu-ray courtesy of Fabulous Films Ltd / Spirit Entertainment on Monday 26th August 2024.
The release features all 26 original episodes from the hit first series narrated by the legendary British comedy actor Kenneth Williams. Plus, included as a bonus feature is the second series of 26 episodes made in 2005, featuring James Dreyfus as the narrator.
The first series was written, directed and produced by Nick Spargo. Spargo had created an animated educational film called ‘Super Natural Gas' in 1975 for British Gas. The film explained what natural gas was and how it was brought ashore through a character named Willo who was a wisp of methane gas voiced by Williams. This short film (included in the Extras of this release) was the inspiration for the first series (the second series was coproduced by animator-illustrator Bobbie Spargo, daughter of Nick Spargo).
Each story is based around characters found living in Doyley Woods. Alongside Willo, there is Mavis Cruet, the fairy, whose magic doesn’t always work; Arthur, the intelligent caterpillar; Evil Edna, the witch who has been turned into a television set; Carwash the cat; The Moog, a dog with very little brain; Twit, a bird and the Beast, who was a Prince before he was changed by Evil Edna.
Please note this competition is only open to UK residents. The full terms and conditions are available at the bottom of the entry widget.
