Edd the Duck's New Series on BBC 1
"Well obviously it's a great thrill to work with a genuine superstar",
explained Ivor Rednose, professional clown and supporting character in the new
Edd the Duck series, "and to be paid in all the custard pies I could throw was
a bonus !"
Edd the Duck, superstar, pop singer, and all round cool dude, starts his new
series on BBC 1 this week. The series, split into nine episodes, chronicles his
escapades around the various departments of the BBC Television Centre.
No expense has been spared in bringing this extravaganza to the small screen.
Several tons of snow were transported from the Antarctic for use in the Weather
Department scenes, and the fearsome Arglefrags were flown in specially from the
Alpha Centauri Star System for a guest appearance in the Special Effects
episodes.
Using a translator, I talked to Norman Zagrajaz, Arglefrags leading actor about
appearing with such a household name. "It vaz vorth the zix light year journey
to appear vith Edd - he iz a conzumate profezzional, and it vould be a pleazure
to vork vith him again."
I then asked Norman whether there were any drawbacks to working on the Edd
series. "Vell for one thing the green make up I uze zeemz to be in very zhort
zupply. You humanz juzt don't zeem to uze it that often."
But what of Edd himself? Unfortunately unavailable due to a large signing
session of his latest chart topping single, I have been unable to elicit his
own opinion of the show. However, I have been assured by an insider close to
this wonder duck that this is his finest hour, with a possible Bafta nomination
on the cards.
Could this be the program to launch Edd's superstardom on to a new plane? Watch
out on a small screen near you......

* GAMESPLAY
EDD THE DUCK has to out manoeuvre his opposition as he travels upwards through
the bowels of the BBC. To help him succeed, the Special Effects Boffins have
developed a Snowball Shooter which Edd can use to Freeze his opponents for
short periods of time. Pressing Fire allows Edd to throw a snowball.
On each scene, Edd has to collect all of the 20 Stars before he can progress to
the next episode. If he falls, the filming must stop and Edd loses one of his
four takes.
Edd has to collect stars from the following Departments in the Television
Centre, whilst avoiding Wilson the Butler and his cronies:
Weather
Special Effects
Childrens' TV
The ON AIR light is flashing, and the audience is just a buzz in the background
- EDD THE DUCK is off on yet another smash success !!
