Bible stories scheduled for CBBC channel

[Story includes video] A UK-produced animated Bible stories television series for children has been scheduled for broadcast on the BBC's CBBC channel in March 2007. Based in the First Century AD, Friends and Heroes places children’s action-adventure stories within a vivid historical context. It aims to introduce a new generation, whatever their faith, to the stories of the Old and New Testament.

The 13 episodes will be broadcast on weekdays between March 12 and 23, sometimes twice a day, starting at 12 noon and 12.30pm, or in single episodes starting at 12.30pm. The series will form part of the BBC's factual output on CBBC which is also used by schools.
