Thames View is an animated sitcom, and the brain child of illustrator, character designer and director Rob Flowers. It is based on Rob’s childhood growing up in 1990’s East London and follows the lives of the chaotic Potts family. Joyce Potts’ birthday present has been stolen, so her husband Big Jim enlists the help of his fearsome mother-in-law Edna to track it down on the Thames View Estate.
