If you didn't watch the stop-motion version you have no idea how scary it could be.

CGI? are you a mentil? Of course not. The stop motion was on first when I was 8 or 9 and then the shite watered down cartoon version came along when I was in my teens.

That my dear was one of the best kids shows ever made. Honestly, don't judge a book by it's cover. I guarantee that show had more kids out there trying to solve crime than any other show in history.

Nothing says 70's like....

The red hand gang.

Budgies, grifters boxers tomahawk and choppers.

Flairs.

Refresher chews pulling all your fillings out.

Moomins are great. I liked the books and the stop motion animation. Think I might pick up some books for Baba Z's future bedtime reads.

If my brain serves me correctly, wasn't the original Moomins made out of Fuzzy Felt?

Also, Mr Marsh (of WoS fame) and Mrs Marsh had bride and groom Moomins on the wedding cake :)

There's a shop in Nottingham that sells ALL THE CHARACTER MUGS.
From Too-Ticky to the Groke, even Thingumy and Bob. They're stupidly expensive though, but I'll get them one day.

He only had time to post on WoS because of his hellishly boring job at St Martins in Lancs, now he doesn't have net play time at his new job in York and doesn't get chance when at home cos of the family and the kids hogging the puter. I let him know you miss him though :)
