In 2001, an animated TV series of 52 five-minute episodes was planned to be produced as a co-production between Telemagination , TV-Loonland AG and Absolutely Productions for a 2002-2003 delivery, with Loonland holding Non-UK rights to the series. For unknown reasons, this plan never came through, and Absolutely instead teamed with Happy Life and Varcara to produce the series instead for a late-2003 delivery, with CITV purchasing UK broadcast rights. The series was first broadcast in the UK within that time. It was produced by Carl Gorham and directed by Roger Mainwood, featuring the voices of Alan Bennett as Owl, Fay Ripley as Meg and Phil Cornwell as Mog with additional voices by Morwenna Banks and Paul Shearer . A successful stage play also ran in London in the 1980s starring Maureen Lipman as Meg. Titles. Television series. Meg's Cauldron And Other Stories DVD: 1. Meg's Cauldron 2. Meg at the Funfair 3.
