Granted, it was responsible for airing the mystery-solving, talking dog programme Wishbone, but it wasn’t until The Tribe that Channel 5 really had a hit for kids on their hands.
Created by Raymond Thompson and Harry Duffin, the show was a collaboration between New Zealand’s Cloud 9 Entertainment Group and Channel 5 itself. At the time, it was broadcast across the world and fast became an underground hit. It was the kind of show that inspired a huge devotion from its fanbase, spawning tie-in novels, a follow-up series and two albums,...
