CHIPPER CHILDREN’S ITV claymation, narrated by WILLIE RUSHTON, featuring Berk (mild-mannered, West Country-accented blob), Bony (skeleton thing, plummy voice), The Thing upstairs (always wanting to be fed) and various creatures beneath the titular egress. Opening sequence sent up the conventions of house-on-the-hill horror much as DANGERMOUSE sent up superheroes. Scripts sometimes approached Cosgrove-Hall’s invariably high quality. Theme tune none more 80s, complete with pseudo-rap over closing credits.

The one you forgot was Drut, the cheery little grey blob with spider legs who made funny noises, and for some reason had a name that was the word “turd” backwards.

The theme song was performed by Zygott, apparently a pseudonym for Bob Heatlie, the composer of Aneka’s Japanese Boy.
