Official Synopsis[]

In the Kitchens of Redwall Abbey, Mattimeo, son of Matthias the warrior and Cornflower, fights Vitch, a mean little rat. Mattimeo is punished by his father for discourtesy to a guest. But Mattimeo's instincts about Vitch are validated when it transpires that Vitch is a spy for Slagar the Fox, a slaver for the terrible underground kingdom of Malkariss. Slagar gains entry to Redwall disguised as a leader of a troupe of magicians. At a great feast he is able to drug the drinks and capture Mattimeo and his friends, Tess and Tim Churchmouse, Sam Squirrel, and Cynthia Bankvole.

They join a group of slaves among whom is Auma, little daughter of Orlando the Axe - who even now is hunting the fox. As the slaves are taken away Slagar is revealed to be Chickenhound the treacherous fox from Series One, "Redwall", seeking revenge against Matthias the Warrior.

Differences from Mattimeo[]

  • The slavers tell the young captives that they're taking them to Malkariss and laugh mockingly; in the book, the slavers have no idea where they are going, but when Slagar tells them, they're terrified.
  • In the book, when Mattimeo is punished, Matthias raises his voice at his son; in the episode, Matthias is more calm.
  • When Slagar assigns the roles for his slavers to play, Scringe is one of the few who stay behind; in the book, he joins his fellow vermin to Redwall.
  • In the book, Skinpaw sings to get the dwellers' attention at the Abbey gates; in the episode, Threeclaws performs this role.

Featurettes[]

  • Brian Jacques transcript:
"Hello, I'm Brian Jacques, and welcome back to Redwall. Several seasons have passed since we last saw Matthias and his friends in the Abbey. Much has happened. The Abbot died and appointed Matthias the warrior mouse of Redwall. Cluny was defeated, and Redwall Abbey rejoiced. Matthias the Warrior has wed Cornflower, and they now have a son of their own, Mattimeo. Meet him in this episode of Redwall."
