Castle is a 1983 PBS documentary with fully animated docudrama sequences. It is the first adaptation of British-American architect David Macaulay's books on ancient engineering, adapted from his award-winning 1977 book, and set the standard for adaptations to come.The film, produced by Unicorn Productions in association with WTVS Detroit, chronicles the construction of the fictional castle of Aberwyvern under the supervision of its owner, Lord Kevin le Strange, and master carpenter James of Babbington, and the extremes the Welsh, led by Prince Davith, went to, ultimately to no avail, in their attempt to thwart the English invasion of their territory. In the live-action wrap-around sequences, Macaulay and British actress Sarah Bullen explore the real-life castles that served as Macaulay's inspiration for the setting of his story.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Both the animated and live-action sequences go out of their way to show how castles functioned defensively, especially in times of war. This would eventually be followed by Cathedral in 1986, Pyramid in 1989, Roman City in 1994, and Mill Times in 2002.Useless trivia: this premiered on the same week as Vietnam: A Television History, and its initial broadcast was followed by the premiere of the second episode of the same. Also, its 1994 rebroadcast was placed in between a rebroadcast of Nova 1992-93 season finale "The Lost Tribe" and a rebroadcast of the Ken Burns documentary The Statue of Liberty.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Here be examples of these English and Welsh tropes:
