MUZZY, the award-winning BBC Language Course for Children, continues to receive high praise from experts and the approval of millions of parents and teachers worldwide.
Muzzy is a set of videos used to teach foreign languages. The videos are distributed by Early Advantage, a subsidiary of the
BBC, in two installments,
Muzzy and
Muzzy Level II, with the latter being more advanced.
Muzzy is the main character of the videos, a friendly Jade-eating monster. The stories are set in the kingdom of Gondoland, where Muzzy lands in his
spaceship. Inhabitants of Gondoland include the
royal family, who are
lions: the King, the Queen, and their daughter Sylvia; Bob, their gardener; Corvax, an
evil scientist; and, later in the set, Amanda, the daughter of Bob and Princess Sylvia, and Thimbo, Corvax's henchman. Most other characters are
dogs. The main storylines are often interrupted by educational interludes, animated in a different style and featuring a
cyclist character named Norman who explains
grammar.
