Quentin Blake's CLOWN to become a major animation - with Helena Bonham Carter to narrate

Quentin Blake's 1998 picturebook CLOWN is to be turned into an animation by Channel Four which will be narrated by Oscar and BAFTA winning actress Helena Bonham Carter. The half hour animation is being produced by Eagle Eye Drama and broadcast on Channel Four on Christmas day. CLOWN's publishers, Puffin, will be publishing special tie-in editions of the book to celebrate.

“Clown’ has always been one of my favorite characters, and it’s wonderful now to see him off the page and running about on his own.” - Quentin Blake. More on the story here.
