"Castle" - complete 1983 David Macauley PBS TV Special 56:08

  • https://youtu.be/e-M1giwy5M0 Published on Aug 31, 2019 "CASTLE" is an excellent, ground-breaking PBS TV special that combines colorful animation with live-action documentary sequences to tell the story of a 13th-century Welsh castle. Author David Macaulay, who wrote and illustrated the best-selling book of the same title, leads viewers on a castle tour, explaining its cultural and sociological significance and its architectural design. Detailed animation dramatizes the building of the castle and portrays the lifestyle of the early inhabitants. I remember how much I enjoyed watching and re-watched this TV special in the 1980s whenever it would air on Maryland Pubic Television.
