trying to remember a den tv show

jurassic fart · 13-01-2016 10:59am #1

Hi guys I've been racking my brain to remember a kids tv show that I watched as a kid on the den. It was a stop motion about Irish myths and legends, some parts may have been in Irish.

Can anyone remember the name of this show before I go mad

Thanks

Hmm, can't remember anything like that...

...was it a part of Echo Island?

No I don't think so. I think it was before echo island. Possibly '92/'93

Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog was on Network 2 in the late 90's maybe on the Den

It was made by the same company that made Power Rangers I think.

Is it the one where Balor (scary villain) would appear every now and then?

Could it have been segments on The Morbegs? Somethings clicking in my brain when you say parts as Gaeilge. The Dunin series?

I know this is really random but I remembered this thread when I was discussing this with someone else. Was it Wolves, Witches and Giants?

Thanks again.

Fadó, Fadó was the name of it I think. I have been looking for clips or images for years. Yes, Balór was a 'baddie' with an eye patch.

Could have been Ten Minute Tales.

Sorry to revive a long dead thread, but I have been looking for the same thing, it was called Fadó Fadó, and started with the words Fadó, Fadó, long, long ago. And yes Balor of the evil eye is the only one I really remember from it too. I was enthralled by it as a kid. There has been a more recent kids program called Fadó, Fadó, but that's not it. This was Zig & Zag The Den days. Was good old fashioned stop motion animation. Wish I could find it too!

I think there were some threads about that over on All Things Retro.
