The team behind Quentin Blake’s Clown, shown on Channel 4 in December 2020, has taken six of the famed illustrator’s books and turned them into a series. It kicks off with Zagazoo, a charming story with an adult message, followed by Jack and Nancy, a fantastical tale of a brother and sister who wish to escape to faraway lands.
The animation is purposefully 2D to keep Blake’s sketchy style, while Adrian Lester’s cheeky and sometimes unreliable narrator injects a lot of fun. Alison Steadman, Nina Sosanya and Simon Pegg also lend their voices.
