Simon Buckley is a very talented professional puppeteer and also an Anglican priest.
Over the last few months Simon and animation production company Loose Moose Productions have produced a 15-minute, non-broadcast Pilot episode The Story of Samuel - for Testament Tales, a planned series which aims to engage and entertain children with wonderful Old Testament stories, using puppets to bring them to life and make their message more accessible to a young audience.
When it was shown in schools with a large Muslim and Jewish population, because of the shared Abrahamic tradition, it was enjoyed by and relevant to children of those faiths as well. The teachers found that it brought home the essence of the story without preaching.
