The Poddington Peas
The Poddington Peas is an animated British children’s television series made by Paul Needs and Colin Wyatt; the single series has 13 episodes and was first aired on the BBC in 1989. A second season using CGI animation was planned in 2008.
The theme song describes the peas as being “down at the bottom of the garden”. Human size garden objects, giant in size to them, are seen such as up turned flower pots serving as most of their buildings. Humans themselves are never seen or mentioned.
In 1992, writer Phil Gardner was employed by Poddington plc to help write some new episodes – including one intended to pilot the series in the USA, and featuring a new group of characters, the Bugz. Click here to read more and watch the intro »

Roar
Roar is an American television show that originally aired on the Fox network in July of 1997. In the year AD 400, a young Irish man, Conor (Heath Ledger), sets out to rid his land of the invading Romans, but in order to accomplish this, he must unite the Celtic clans.
The show was created by Shaun Cassidy on the heels of the success of the syndicated programs Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess. However, Roar was not very well received in the US and lasted for only one season (8 of the 13 episodes were aired in 1997, with the last 5 not broadcast until 2000).
