Friends and Heroes is a British-Canadian-American Christian children's
program that airs on TBN, Smile of a Child TV, and was also shown on
BBC TV. The show is both traditionally animated (for the adventure
story) and computer animated (for the Bible stories). It takes place
from 69 - 71 AD, during the First Jewishâ€"Roman War. There are three
seasons or "series", each comprising 13 episodes: Season 1 is set in
Alexandria, Egypt; Season 2 in Jerusalem and Season 3 in Rome. The
series was created by Brian D. Brown and Eric J. Danenberg, who also
worked on The Storykeepers. Starting with the second season, the show
is produced in HD. All three series have now been translated and
dubbed into Arabic, Chinese (both Mandarin, and Taiwan Mandarin),
French, German, Hindi, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, North
American Spanish, and Manx Gaelic. Gary Kurtz, the producer for season
one, also produced American Graffiti, Star Wars, and The Empire
Strikes Back.The show starts with a recap of last week's episode,
relevant or not. Then the theme song plays. Act 1 begins with the name
of the episode. There's usually about ten minutes of story and then a
Bible story, followed by Act 2. There's more story and then another
Bible story. Unless it is a two-part episode, the problem is resolved
after the second Bible story. There are, however, three Bible stories
in one episode.The series begins in the year 69 AD, in Alexandria.
