The Return of the Borrowers is a BBC TV children's programme first broadcast in 1993 on BBC2 and then later on American television station TNT.^[2][3] The series is adapted from the third and fourth novels of author Mary Norton's The Borrowers series: The Borrowers Afloat (1959) and The Borrowers Aloft (1961), respectively.

The series is the sequel to The Borrowers, another TV series that first aired in 1992 also on BBC2 and TNT. Like the first series, every episode (except the last one) ended on a cliffhanger.

Both series follow the Clocks, a family of tiny people who have fled from their home under the floorboards in an old manor into the English countryside.
