Easter treats

Adrian Lester narrates new animations based on the works of children's writer and illustrator Sir Quentin Blake

NEW ANIMATION Quentin Blake's Box of Treasures Easter Sunday, 2.15pm (times vary), & Easter Monday, 1.30pm, BBC1

For more than 60 years, Sir Quentin Blake has captured the imaginations of children and adults alike with his whimsical illustrations.

This Easter, Blake's muchloved drawings are once again brought to life as the BBC adds two more adaptations of his stories to its six-episode series Quentin Blake's Box of Treasures, narrated by Adrian Lester.

Snuff tells the story of a clumsy page and features the voice of Hot Fuzz's Simon Pegg as village knight Sir Thomas Magpie, while Gavin & Stacey's Alison Steadman voices inventor Mrs Armitage in Mrs Armitage on Wheels.
