Celia (TV Series)

Celia is a Spanish children's television series that was originally broadcast in 1992 through Spain's national public-service channel, Televisión Española. The series was based on the classic Spanish children's novels, primarily "Celia, lo que dice" (1929) and "Celia en el colegio" (1932), by Elena Fortún and told the adventures of a wild seven-year-old girl named Celia Gálvez de Moltanbán. The series, which introduced Cristina Cruz Mínguez in the title role of Celia, was adapted for the screen by award-winning Spanish author and writer Carmen Martín Gaite, and was directed and produced by José Luis Borau. Aside from narrating the stories of Celia, the series also reflected life in Spain during the 1930s, lightly touching the subject of the upcoming civil war, a changing nation, and the social issues and ideas of the time. Though the series was successful when it originally premiered, it was cancelled after six episodes. The sixth and last episode claimed that the series was to be continued ("Continuará"), however, that claim remains untrue almost two decades later.
