About this season
Percy is a gentle, kindly sort of a man who is happy with his life in the park, totally unhindered by the stresses and strains of modern life. He is a friend to all the animals, who turn to Percy in times of need - or just to have some fun in the park. Based on the books by Nick Butterworth.
