This children's miniseries tells the story of Bamse's fairy tale like adventure on a small remote planet inhabited by the wonderful and strange characters Forlæns and Baglæns. This series was the creation of Finn Bentzen, Elith Nulle Nykjær and Poul Nesgaard (now headmaster of The National Film School of Denmark) and is by many considered to be one of the best television programmes for children ever made in Denmark. After this mini series Bamse got his own weekly tv-series entitled "Bamses billedbog" (1983) set in a completely different enviroment.
