"Herbidacious!"


...That was the secret word you used to open the magic door to the garden
of The Herbs. It was actually owned by Sir Basil and Lady Rosemary and
was styled after a walled manor house-type garden, with lots of bedding plants
and a great glass greenhouse-come-conservatory at its heart. Everyone surely
knows The Herbs' main character, droll Parsley The Lion and his excitable best
friend Dill The Dog. The other animated creations were a mixture of animals and
humans - Constable Knapweed, Sage The Owl, Pashana Bedi, Bella Donna
The Witch, Tarragon The Dragon and more. Each episode began outside the
garden door

The Herbs' main character, droll Parsley The Lion and his excitable best
friend Dill The Dog. The other animated creations were a mixture of animals and
humans - Constable Knapweed, Sage The Owl, Pashana Bedi, Bella Donna
The Witch, Tarragon The Dragon and more. Each episode began outside the
garden door with a short introduction, like this one for "Parsley's Birthday Party":

"Parsley is a herb. A very useful kind of herb. I don't know
what we'd do without Parsley. Of course, it's like a lot of
other things, it gets taken for granted. But I suspect we
would miss it soon enough if it wasn't there one day..."

Beyond the garden wall, each character would be introduced via a short song
- well, more of a musical couplet than a song, as such. These were witty little
ditties were revised from episode-to-episode reflecting the mood of the singer
at the time. Parsley's were variations on a humble theme, like this:

"I'm a very friendly lion called Parsley, I am always very glad
to see you wave. But please don't shout or speak to me too
harshly, because I'm not particularly brave..."

"The Herbs" were created by Michael "Paddington" Bond and brought to our tv
screens by genius animator Ivor Wood and FilmFair. The show was first
broadcast in the BBC's "Watch With Mother" slot and was one of the first wave
of productions made and in colour. Starting in 1968 three series of "The Herbs"
were produced and they spawned innumerable licensed products and, in time,
a spin-off series called The Adventures Of Parsley. Both series hold up
splendidly alongside today's productions. Ivor Wood's models are beautifully
realized, and their stop-motion actions not bettered even by modern techniques.
Principally, though, there is the wit and repartee of its lead character to hold our
attention. Parsley is a star in the Hancock mould. Ironic, droll, deadpan and offset
by his ever-keen, exhausting companion Dill....

Trivia Hounds will note that, in "The Herbs" Parsley doesn't actually speak.
Instead, he simply reacts to the characters and events around him, with
Gordon Rollings speaking his thoughts in narrative form...
