David the Gnome, and his wife Lisa, were peace
loving Gnomes who lived in a tree. They probably reminded more than
a few children of their grandparents. David would travel around
on the back of his trusty fox, Swift, who he would summon by whistling.
Overall it was a very interesting show which taught children to
enjoy and respect nature and the world around them.
This 26 episode series came to the U.S. airwaves
in 1987, running weekdays on Nickelodeon, and was later rebroadcast
from 1996 to 1998 on The Learning Channel. It was narrated by Christopher
Plummer, of The Sound of Music and The Insider fame.
Theme tune Lyrics: Look around you.
There are many things to see, that some would say could never be.
These things I know.
It's true and I will tell you so.
They are there to see, if you believe.
Trolls and wizards and fairy kings, birds that talk and fish that
sing.
And if your heart is true, then you will find them too.
In every wish and dream and happy home, you will find a kingdom
of the Gnomes.
