The Adventures of Parsley (1970 - 1971)

The Adventures of Parsley was a 32-episode children's television series animated in stop motion. Produced by FilmFair, The Adventures of Parsley was a spin-off of The Herbs. Its opening credits featured either Parsley the lion roaring or Dill the dog barking with their head in a circle, in parody of MGM's logo. The Herbs and The Adventures of Parsley were created and written by Michael Bond, directed by Ivor Wood, and distributed by BBC1. BBC1 premiered The Adventures of Parsley on 6 April 1970. The five-minute-long episodes concluded the day's broadcast of children's programming, and preceded the early evening broadcast of BBC News..
