British children's television series (1990–2015)
the disorder that causes symptoms when an individual is viewing art

Art Attack is a British children's television programme revolving around art, originally hosted by Neil Buchanan on CITV from 1990 to 2007, and subsequently hosted by Lloyd Warbey on Disney Junior from 2012 to 2015. The original programme aired on CITV between 15 June 1990 and 19 May 2007, and was presented by one of its creators, Neil Buchanan, throughout. Buchanan also wrote and produced the programme, and came up with a majority of the creative ideas. A new series launched on Disney Junior on 6 June 2011 and was presented by Jassa Ahluwalia. Each show involved Ahluwalia voicing over footage of an artist producing three works of art, taking the viewer through the various stages of production step by step. Ahluwalia was later replaced with Lloyd Warbey at the start of the British second revived series.

The programme was originally a TVS production, devised by two TVS employees, Neil Buchanan and Tim Edmunds. Buchanan and Edmunds met each other at Southern Television in 1978, and worked together on No. 73 and Do It!. The first Art Attacks were a strand within No. 73, and this segment proved so popular, Nigel Pickard, the executive producer of children's programming at TVS, green lit the pilot. The Art Attack pilot was shot on location at a disused swimming pool in Gillingham, Kent in 1989, and the series began the following year. Throughout its run, the series used theme music composed by Mr Miller & Mr Porter, and inspired at Buchanan's suggestion by the hit Kenny Loggins song Danger Zone, from the 1986 film Top Gun. When TVS lost its franchise, Edmunds and Buchanan bought the rights to the show and produced Art Attack through their company, The Media Merchants. The Media Merchants used STV Studios (then known as "SMG Productions"), as the ITV company to get the series onto the network: this was partly due to the fact that Nigel Pickard had moved to Scottish Television. In 1993 another ex TVS employee, Peter Urie set up a production management company, Television Support Services. Television Support Services managed and co wrote all the Media Merchants productions. For most of its run, the show was filmed at The Maidstone Studios, Maidstone, Kent. In 1998, Disney bought the rights to produce foreign language versions of Art Attack. Each version had a different local host for each territory, and was made in Maidstone, on a similar set to the original version. Neil Buchanan's Big Art Attacks were retained in the international shows, as was The Head, who was dubbed by relevant local voice artists. Buchanan also produced the artwork for the foreign versions footage of his hands creating the pieces would be voiced over by the local host, who would show the artwork in between stages and explain what to do next. Disney ended production of the foreign shows in 2005. ITV announced the cancellation of the series in July 2007. Until May 30, 2011, the show was regularly repeated on CITV, usually on weekend afternoons. After the programme's demise, many of the production team transferred to Finger Tips and Mister Maker, both recorded at The Maidstone Studios. In 2010, Disney announced that an updated version of the series would air on Disney Junior around the world. Production was moved to Non Stop Digital S. A. studios in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Once again, several versions were made for each market; these were produced in an equivalent manner to the previous international versions. The first series of the new UK version was presented by Jassa Ahluwalia. Local artist Alexiev Gandman was brought in to create the Big Art Attacks. In December 2012, Buchanan was featured in a segment dedicated to the programme's original run in the one off documentary special 30 Years of CITV: a 1992 episode was broadcast on the CITV channel shortly after the above was broadcast, as part of its "Old Skool Weekend" marathon.

"The Head" was a puppet stone bust, based on Constantine the Great, who would humorously recap the steps needed to produce the last art piece made. After doing this, he would usually show his own creation of the previous Art Attack, most times however getting it comically wrong to his own sorrow or annoyance. However, on occasion, by accidentally doing part of the instructions incorrectly, he would create a different effect to that desired and be proud of his work. At other times he would tell jokes or make puns, particularly after the Big Art Attacks. In Series one, 'The Head' was played by Jim Sweeney, in series 2, Andrew O'Connor; and from series 3, having been redesigned as a puppet, he was voiced and operated by Francis Wright, The Head in series 6 and 7 was voiced and operated by the producer Tim Edmunds, 'The Head' did not appear in series 12 or 13, or in series 18 and 19. In the revived series, The Head was replaced with a talking palm tree called "Vincent Van Coconut", voiced by Tim Hibber. The name is a parody of Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh.
