The Perishers (TV series)
The Perishers is an animated cartoon series produced by Bill Melendez Productions and FilmFair. BBC1 transmitted it in 1979 and repeated until 1988. The series is based on Maurice Dodd's long-running comic strip, The Perishers. Voices were provided by Sheila Steafel, Leonard Rossiter, Judy Bennett, and Peter Hawkins.
Castle Vision published the first home video release of The Perishers: Two VHS videocassettes, each with 10 episodes. Abbey Home Media republished the first 10 episodes to a Region 2 DVD titled The Perishers: Magic Mirror, and the remaining 10 episodes to a second DVD, The Perishers: The Skateboard Champion.
