Grim Tales presented by Rik Mayall - The Little Peasant

Rik Mayall presents the Grim Brothers story of The Little Peasant

[@bumbledouche3323]

I used to love this series as a child... Another one of those old shows that nobody else seems to remember, making me question my sanity. Funnily enough, I completely forgot about the chair with ostrich legs in the intro. I guess those are the kind of details we just accept as normal when we're children lol.

Weird I’m surprised I never watched this in my rik mayall binge after rewatching the young ones

[@BelatedCommiseration]

Is 'Horrid on Sea' a metaphor for Wall Street and the city and the peasent is the rest of us? Except, in real life, if they all tried to jump into the sea the little peasent would be expected to make himself and his family into some sort of human safety net to break their fall. I used to love these as a kid. Around the same time there was also the jim Henson tales with John Hurt, but even though their production values were higher I always preferred Riks version...

[@bottomburp]

I loved this, as far as I know its only been shown on tv once, I hope that its released on DVD or Blu-ray at some point

If only it was this easy to get rid of the Trump administration.

[@mgabrysSF]

The other villagers were Jews. Of course it's not mentioned, because It's a Prussian tale - what did you expect?
