“Down in the woods, where nobody sees, there’s a light dancing and that light is me!”

These were the familiar introductory words from Willo the Wisp, the central character at the heart of this classic 1980’s animation series.

Each story is based around characters found living in "Willo'-the-Wisp" remains a beloved classic, remembered fondly by those who watched it during their childhood. The charm of the show lies in its unique animation style, clever writing, and Willo himself is just the embodiment of the distinctive voice and mannerisms of Kenneth Williams, you can almost see him in the recording studio doing the voice-over.

Doyley Woods. Alongside Willo, there was Mavis Cruet, the fairy, whose magic didn’t always work; Arthur, the intelligent caterpillar; Evil Edna, the witch who had been turned into a television set; Carwash, a cat; The Moog, a dog with very little brain; Twit, a bird and the Beast, who was a former Prince before he had been changed by Evil Edna. The series was written, directed and produced by Nicholas Spargo. The inspiration for the series originated from an animated educational film called Super Natural Gas, made in 1975 for British Gas. The character of Willo explained what natural gas is and how it is brought ashore.

Now enjoy all 26 original episodes from the hit first series narrated by the legendary British comedy actor Kenneth Williams and included as a bonus feature is the second series of 26 episodes made in 2005, again by Nicholas Spargo, and now featuring James Dreyfus as the narrator.
