Edward and Friends was a children's TV series in claymation from FilmFair that aired on British and Canadian television in 1987–1988.

Each episode was 5-minutes in length and was based on LEGO's successful Fabuland theme that lasted for 10 years from 1979 to 1989.

Edward Elephant was the main character in the show and the episodes were centred on him and his many friends including Bonnie Bunny and Max Mouse.

It was Lego's first foray into animation and television in general.

Bernard Cribbins provided the voice-over for the show. Written by Michael Cole with music by Mike Batt.
