Pond Life (1996–2000) watch online

Pond Life is a British adult animated television series that aired on Channel 4 for two series in 1996 and 2000. The series was created, written, animated produced and directed by comedian and animator Candy Guard and follows the misadventures of its neurotic and self-obsessed protagonist, Dolly Pond. It was produced by EVA Entertainment, with Pond Life Productions for the first series and Collingwood O'Hare Productions for the second series.

The series began life in 1992 with a pilot episode entitled I Want a Boyfriend... Or Do I? which was co-commissioned by Channel 4 and S4C. Channel 4 later commissioned Pond Life by the channel's self in 1996.

Pond Life was Guard's second breakthrough, but scheduling problems marred the series' reception; it was originally intended for broadcast at 9.45pm, but was shown four hours earlier, which required edits to remove adult language. It was shown at the same time as Australian soap Neighbours, and was aimed at the same core audience as the soap. Despite these problems, Pond Life won several awards and received a Writer's Guild nomination for Best Sitcom. Guard was pleased because it was up against several live-action comedy series, including Only Fools and Horses.

Although Pond Life is a traditional hand-drawn cartoon, the comedy series was directed at adult audiences and specifically targeted at female viewers.
