Gideon (TV series)

Gideon (TV series)

"Gideon" was an early 1980s animated UK children's television series.

This basic animation was centered around Gideon, a duck with an unusually long neck. Gideon's abnormality was the subject of cruel taunts and jibes from the other ducks - who all had normal length necks - but good always came out in the end.

Gideon originated as a series of French storybooks, written by Benjamin Rabier in the 1920s, under the name "Gédéon". In the 1970s French television produced the cartoon series, which was then sold to the UK television company Yorkshire Television and made into an English-language version. Directed by Steve Haynes. Music by Alan Parker ex Blue Mink.
