The Owl Service

1969–1970 · 1 season

An eerie, disorienting folk tale that unsettles through strange editing and a creeping sense of ancient forces intruding on ordinary lives.

Tagline: The strangest children’s TV show ever made!
Overview: Three teenagers discover a mysterious set of owl and flower-patterned dinner plates in the attic and the magical ancient legend of the "Mabinogion" comes to life once again in their Welsh valley.
How it feels: Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Identity, fate, class, family
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
