there used to be so many great kids shows made in the uk the trap door is 1 of them also check out dangermouse duckula art attack dizzy heights pingu fireman sam all great shows i used to watch back in 1990 but sadly because i was 4 at the time i have trouble remembering them all and i think the early 90,s were a great time and very colourfull anyone remember shell suits i had 1 just a shame the kids 2day go around like gangsters and grow up 2 early in my opinion parents are scumbags
@cole003f Man, I grew up with stuff like this and it looks like garbage to me. I mean sure, you can't judge a book by it's cover, but the cover kinda looks like crap to me. Kinda like Mr. Bump.
My favorite episode was when berk replaced his pet Drutt with a "cuter" version he finds in the trap door. Of course it turns out to be completely viscous and dangerous. I'll never forget Berks reaction when the penny drops. "ARGGGH! It's got big 'orrible teeth!"
i also got scared of this when i was a kid, loved it though :) and still do. i remember telling the story as an intro to my band's set a few years ago, good times :D
On the DVD "Trapdoor Complete Collection" there is a special feature which replays the opening credits three times back-to-back. Now that must have been included just for 20-something stoners to enjoy . . .
All our tutors are at the top floor of the uni campus, so whenever we go to hand in work we say we're going to see the thing upstairs...it's probably the geekyest slang ever.
yay me and my mum have been looking for this show sinch it finnised in australia in 1999. I was 4 whenit finnished i just remembered the theme and the blue guy, all I've seen of it up till now is a tshirt... so i can now see one faviout shows... now to find that one on the island with a peinguin called Elvis!
Its not that TV shows are bad nowa days. They are alright (most of them).. But what i really miss about Cartoons is Claymation and stuff being hand drawn... everything is Computer animated thesedays. Only Pixar get it right and they only make movies...
Modern kids today don't get any animation.. not quality stuff like they had in the 80's early 90's you know well drawn, with a story to it, and charaters with some dimension to them. not this cheap crap they got now.
I'm now 31 and I still remember watching this when I was younger. This was a kids show, back in the days of children's hour on ITV and BBC1. I remember when there was back to back to kid's shows from 3.30 til 5.15 Mon-Fri. What happended to the good old days?
Someone please upload the Ending Credits Outro Theme?: "Creepy, crawly, slimy things, that stick on to your skin... Horrid beasts with tentacles, that want to pull you in... Squirmy worms, slugs and snails, that lie there in a goo... They'll wait down there forever, 'till they get their hands on you... Stay away from that trapdoor, 'Cos there's something down there..."
Somewhere in the dark and nasty region, where no body goes. Stands an ancient castle. Deep within this dank and uninviting place lives bert. Overworked serpant of the thing upstairs. But that is nothing compared to the horrors that lurk beneath the trap door. In the Dark. Waiting to come out!
