What happens

Vic the Viking is a children's animated television series, which premiered in 2013 on Network Ten on 4 July, and continued on Eleven on 5 October. It is based on the 1974–1975 anime series Vicky the Viking and the book series it was originally inspired. The show aired 39 episodes for a total of 78 segments, and ended in 2014. The main characters are Vic, a young, frail and ingenious Viking boy; his father Halvar, the Captain of the Drakkar and chief elect of Flake the home village; Vic's bossy mother Ylva; mischievous urchin-rival Gilby, who is jealous that Vic is allowed to sail with the men, and Vic's equally inquisitive little cousin, Ylvi. Other characters include a druid named Urobe, the ever-quarreling companions Tjure and Snorre, the simple giant Flaxe, squeaky-voiced navigator Gorm and bard Ulme. Halvar's sworn enemy is the rascally captain Sven and his crew of incompetent oafs, but most episodes have other antagonists. The series has been aired overseas, as in Flanders by Ketnet since autumn 2013 (dubbed in Dutch). In the UK it aired on Pop. There are also two Catalan language dubs, corresponding to Televisió de Catalunya and À Punt Mèdia, in València. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
