Day In The Life

Starring Eric, a 10-year-old animated boy who can travel back in time, ‘Day In The Life’ was created to accompany a major new BBC series ‘Hands On History’. This is in fact the first of a series of tales that will encourage kids to find out more about historical periods through the BBC’s website. The first episode, ‘The Normans’, was directed by Dave Hodgson at Pesky, and animated and designed by Beakus director Steve Smith.

As a Norman boy Eric drinks beer for breakfast and poos in the castle moat… He then juggles an array of fighting implements before serving wine at a banquet.

Eric is voiced by the talented Daniel Roche, from ‘Outnumbered’, whose idiosyncratic delivery helped to develop Eric’s character.
