Toad's back and causing chaos — this time with a hedgehog sidekick.
Season 1 • Episode 52
LatestRatty boasts that he could take The Rat's Nest out on a big adventure into the wide ocean but when his friends encourage him to follow his dream, he reluctantly feels compelled to leave the riverbank.
Kenneth Grahame’s literary classic ‘Wind in the Willows’ springs to life in this new series following the further adventures of the much loved characters: kind and considerate Mole, reliable Rat and of course incorrigible Toad. Situated on and around the river that is such a big part of their lives and landscape, they are now joined by irrepressible Hedge the Hedgehog, Kingfisher, Heron and Adder. And let’s not forget the scheming Weasels who still want to take over Toad Hall, for whomever controls Toad Hall controls the River. The series embraces all the values of the original book – endeavour, adventure, teamwork and kindness – and is set to become a modern classic.
Production
Lush animation that actually respects the original illustrations.
Writing
Witty enough for adults, safe enough for bedtime.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ade Edmondson (Toad) and Adrian Edmondson are the same person — TMDB just listed him twice because even databases can't handle his energy.
Wind in the Willows has been adapted roughly every 7 years since 1908; this version finally gives Rat and Mole the slow-burn romance undertones readers always suspected.
