Vic the Viking is a Franco-Australian children's television series, aired on Network Ten on 6 July 2013 later on Eleven on 9 November 2013. It was based on the Japanese 1974-1975 Anime series Vicky the Viking.
The main characters are Vic, a young, frail but most ingenious Viking knave; his father Halvar, warrior-champion and chief of Flake, and the villagers, mainly the other plunder crewmen, including druid Urobe, the ever-quarreling klutzes Tjure and Snorre, simpleton giant Flaxe, squeaky-voiced navigator Gorm and bard Ulme; also 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 girlfriend Ylvi. Halvar's sworn ennemy is the Viking pirates captain Sven, but most episodes have other antagonists.
The series has been aired overseas, as in Flanders by Ketnet since Autum 2013 (dubbed in Dutch). In the UK it is aired on Pop
