Series 3

The third series of The Animals of Farthing Wood chronicled the further adventures of the Farthing Wood animals in White Deer Park and some characters' adventures outside the park. It was based on In the Path of the Storm and Battle for the Park, also including a sub-plot from The Siege of White Deer Park. However, the main plot of the latter was not used as a major storyline because it was considered too dark and frightening for younger audiences. It also included a brand new storyline following the weasels' quest to find a suitable home for their new children. It was originally broadcast in the United Kingdom in 1995.
