The animated series Astro Farm was shown on
CITV from 1992 onwards, meaning that it was around during the same period as the last three series of
Knightmare. Astro Farm was set on a farm which occupied various asteroids and moons. Characters included the Foxwood family, Splodger and Biff, and Daisy.
In Issue 12 of
