Roobarb 1974

‘When Roobarb made a spike’ was my 1973 pilot film that led the way to the now famous animated Roobarb BBC television series. The wobbly green dog first bounced onto Britain’s TV screens in 1974 and within two weeks of its debut on BBC TV, the show had attracted a regular seven million viewers – adults as well as children.

Noah and Nelly in … SklArk

Nutty Noah, Captain of the SkylArk consults his map and randomly picks out a place to visit with a dart. The SkylArk then travels to its destination on land, by air, on the sea or underwater. Each plot finds the SkylArk's crew discovering a bunch of odd characters (such as talking money) – always moaning about a problem. Every story sees Noah's wife Nelly solving the problem with her knitting skills. Noah and Nelly in SkylArk Witty scripts by Grange Calveley, narrated by Richard Briers and directed by Bob Godfrey. Completely mad and no doubt before its time.
