Chuck the Eco Duck will make his debut on March 1st, exclusively on Passion for the Planet TV.

Chuck the Eco Duck is a new animated TV series designed to teach as well as entertain children between the ages of 5 and 11 about environmental issues and citizenship.

“Passion for the Planet TV was the obvious choice for Chuck the Eco Duck. It’s the only TV channel working to change the world by using entertainment to inspire and motivate people to live a greener, more ethical life. Chuck’s values are very closely aligned with Passion for the Planet so it made perfect sense.” explained producer Robert Sidaway from Ultra Green Films.

Chuck is the oldest son of Ductor Duck and lives on a farm outside a big town. Chuck is a defender of bird and animal rights. His best friend is Doodle the young cockerel. Chuck is supported in his good work by Bert the Albatross who flies with a camera and portable transmitter sending back photos and videos to TV channels and newspapers.

In episode one “Chuck and the Palm Trees” Chuck and Doodle get quacking and visit Brazil to learn about biofuels and bring some back to try out on the Farmer’s tractor.

Future episodes include Chuck and the Penguins, Chuck and Clean Water, Chuck and Good Paper, Chuck and Water Energy, Chuck and Clean Air and Chuck and the Snow Goose.

Chuck the Eco Duck is written by Helena Bishop and Robert Sidaway and illustrated by Helena Bishop. The music is written by Madeline Rix and Oliver Payne and the series is produced by Ultra Green Films, a UK based film and TV production company.
