Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire is a comedic sword and sorcery series, co-produced by Hat Trick Productions and MRC for Comedy Central and BBC Two, which premiered on April 9, 2009.

Overview

The series, set in an ancient fantasy realm, follows reluctant hero Kröd Mändoon, a "thin-skinned and underconfident freedom fighter" in his struggle against the evil ruler, Chancellor Dongalor.[1] The creator, Peter Knight, said the show's humor was inspired by The Simpsons, Get Smart, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the last of which he claims to have seen more than any other movie.[2]
