Art Attack

Art Attack is a children's art show presented by Scouse icon Neil Buchanan. It originally aired from 1990-2007 on CITV. Buchanan's artistic ideas and tips would inspire children to make art and draw better for 17 years. When it ended, the show was picked up by the Disney Channel but did not remain as iconic.

Premise
Buchanan, dressed in his red jumper, jeans and running trainers, would instruct how to make art pieces, varying from useless novelty objects to party costume ideas to genuinely genius things to help with every day life. He would also show tips on basic anatomy, perspective, typography and using different media.

Other segments included: Big Art Attacks, where Buchanan would arrange smaller objects that from a bird's eye view would look like a large picture. The Art Attack Gallery, where viewers sent in their art and Buchanan would make nice comments about them, eventually leading into a object/picture/tip inspired by a viewer's art. The Head, where a whiny puppet head would reiterate every step of the process that you just watched, and then show you his failed attempt for comic relief.
