Mike the Knight will bring all the excitement and enchantment of medieval times into the life of the modern pre-schooler for the first time!
Mike the Knight taps into children's fascination with all things medieval without removing them too far from the familiarity of their everyday lives. Each episode takes children on a journey of discovery through Mike's missions by relating this medieval world to the present day, but crucially in ways that are both funny and entertaining.
Mike the Knight combines the day-to-day experiences of modern children with the natural charm of the medieval setting. For example, thanks to a sprinkling of magic and heaps of ingenuity, Glendragon benefits from medieval versions of modern technology that ensures it's a place where the ordinary is made extraordinary and where comedy and adventure are central to the show's premise.
Music is provided by the Hispanic teenage bard, Fernando, who acts as a storyteller, topping and tailing each episode with a tuneful ditty. Fernando is also incredibly funny, so each episode begins and ends on a humorous note!
The show aims to turn some of the usual dynamics of medieval tales on their head with the two dragons of Glendragon, Sparkie and Squirt, acting not as Mike's adversaries, but as his comical, loyal companions.
Every episode demands the kind of personal qualities from Mike that still ring true today, encouraging children to join in and help Mike accomplish his mission.
