Logo for Garth and Bev - Pencil

Animation about a time-travelling brother and sister called Garth and Bev, who live in harmony with nature in their village long ago. They are transported to different times and places by the Time Spiral and solve problems with the help of Grandfather Lir. It's the day of the Ballybeg Annual Games and Garth and Bev are helping by marking out the squares for the Toss the Boulder event. Everything they try seems to get squashed, eaten or blown away! Then they discover that charcoal is a great way of making marks, especially when you wrap it in a leaf to stop your hands getting messy. Through the Time Spiral they find out that's a bit like how Scarrow the Cumbrian Shepherd wrapped graphite in string to mark his sheep.
