Quentin Blake’s glorious, multicoloured Box of Treasures bursts open as the BBC Symphony Orchestra accompanies two wonderfully animated adventures live: Angel Pavement and Loveykins.

Friends and secret angels Corky and Loopy help street artist Sid enter a competition by lending him a magic pencil to create incredible drawings in Angel Pavement. In Loveykins, Angela Bowling feeds her little Augustus with the finest cakes and sweets and watches as he grows bigger and bigger...

Quentin Blake is known for spinning fabulous tales, and with Stefano Cabrera’s delightful new score they’ve never looked – or sounded – so good! These two films are part of CBBC’s Quentin Blake’s Box of Treasures – and now you get to dive right in!
