About King Rollo

King Rollo ended on December 31, 1980, on BBC One.

The show was a children's animated series that aired in 1980, based on the character created by David McKee in 1979. It featured a series of thirteen episodes, which were part of the pre-school 'See-Saw' strand. The stories centered around Rollo, a child-like king who often needed advice and help from his friends, including The Magician, Cook, Queen Gwen, King Frank, and his wise cat Hamlet. The series was known for its distinctive colorful cut-out paper animation style, similar to McKee's other works like Mr Benn.

The cast included Ray Brooks as the narrator.
