Our Work with The BBC on the History of Ideas series

About the BBC

As one of the world’s most respected public broadcasters, ‘Aunty Beeb’ needs no introduction.

We’ve been working with the BBC for six years on a range of projects and in different animation styles including whiteboard (with the hairy hand). Our work has been used on Radio, Television and the BBC website to explain complex subjects – we even got to illustrate Professor Stephen Hawking’s Reith Lectures on the nature of black holes.

A History of Ideas

How did everything begin? What is love? How do I live a good life? These are just some of the questions that ‘A History of Ideas’ sets out to address. Our animations illustrate and complement the thought-provoking scripts delivered by the vocal talents of Stephen Fry, Gillian Anderson, Harry Shearer and Aidan Turner.
