Krod Mandoon And The Flaming Sword Of Fire

The BBC have just begun filming a new Fantasy/Comedy series by the name of Krod Mandoon And The Flaming Sword Of Fire. I'm not sure what to make of it from the details in the press release, but I guess it's something to check out next year.

Filming has begun on Krod Mandoon And The Flaming Sword Of Fire, a comedy series starring Sean Maguire (Meet The Spartans, Dangerfield, EastEnders) and Matt Lucas (Little Britain), on location in Hungary for transmission next spring on BBC Two.



Krod Mandoon And The Flaming Sword Of Fire is a groundbreaking action-comedy that is equal parts workplace comedy and sword and sorcery fun.



An outrageous, live-action, character-driven show set in an ancient fantasy realm, the series follows reluctant hero Krod Mandoon (Maguire), a thin-skinned and underconfident freedom fighter, who is the last great hope in the struggle against the evil ruler, Chancellor Dongalor (Lucas).



To help fight the great fight, Krod has assembled a band of remarkably ineffectual freedom fighters: Aneka (de Beaufort), the beautiful pagan warrioress whose weapon of choice is sex, Loquasto (Speirs), the oafish servant with bad aim, Zezelryck (Hart), the young warlock whose greatest magical gift is spinning a line, and Bruce (Ray), who's simply fabulous.



Together, they must overcome a myriad of evil obstacles in their quest to save the world, including name-calling, hired assassins and bad hair days.

Sounds a bit odd, but might be worth a look

This is gonna live or die by the writing.

This is gonna live or die by the writing.

I agree, and it's not a good sign it's written and produced by the same people as Clueless the series, and Big Wolf on Campus.

Looks as if it's a co-pro with Comedy Central.
