Wow! I've been trying to find a record of this series for ages as NO ONE remembers it or seems to have heard of it!
Very funny, though it may seem a bit dated in context with todays fast editing and crazy grpahics, but this was great fun and voiced by the genius that is richard briers!
Something i loved as a child and enjoy now as an adult!

Alias the Jester was a great little animated series from Cosgrove-Hall (the makers of wonderful 80s cartoons such as Danger Mouse and Count Duckula). The show was about a diminutive space time-traveller, Alias, who crash-landed into the Medieval kingdom of Haughton Bottoms. Befriended by the forgetful wizard, Meredith, Alias got a job as the King Arthur's jester. In each 10 minute episode he would save the day from all sorts of strange goings on (flying vikings, etc.) and would inevitably get fired by the grumpy king at the end of every episode. A great kids show that was recognised with a BAFTA award in 1986. This grown-up kid remembers it with very fond memories. Despite it once being available on video this is the first release of the complete series on DVD. Definitely worth a look if you enjoy Cosgrove-Hall's other cartoons.
