One of my favourite TV shows as a kid (some things definitely do not change)
The stories are all old fairy tales narrated by John Hurt as the Storyteller. Now I’ve watched them again I’ve realised that some great British actors play in them -notably a young Sean Bean as a Prince Charming. The stories are beautifully told, lasting about twenty minutes each. Henson’s world and his animatronics are impressive and still magical (just corny enough to be charming) a great tribute to storytelling.
The VHS trailer (yes, it is that old.) :
My favourite episode as a child was the Three Ravens :
