  • they don't make em like this anymore!

  • This is my whole childhood. I love this!

  • haha i remeber this brings back memories

  • so kwl i love i watch at school

  • Can somebody tell me which episode was the one where this spider thing got out? That episode scared the daylights out of me when I was a kid...

  • @TheDignifiedMamba the episode is called creepy crawly

  • im 21 & still get creeped out by this

    i remember having an old trap door tent even standing in that scared the shit out of me, felt like i was actually in the trap door room

  • Ohhh, I remember this! It makes me sad, it's like I'm re-living old memories... :'(

  • 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

  • Sometimes me and my friends just burst into song. STAY AWAY FROM THAT TRAPDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR, 'COS THERES SOMETHING DOWN THERE!

  • I remember this show! I used to be confused on what it was about (I was like 4 at the time.....)

  • I'm 15 and I loved this program why cant england bring back tv shows like this now!!!!

  • @1donhudson the new generation of kids wouldnt understand HOW FUCKING AWESOME SHOWS LIKE THIS WERE

  • @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.

  • @TaranAlvein shows nowadays have NOTHING on kid shows back in the day

  • @cole003f shows like this is what they need to be showing on kids tv not all the new pathetic crap

    it was fucking awesome growing up with shows like trap door kenan & kel thundercats

  • I'm 19, and this still scares me haha.

  • 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!"

  • who the fuck disliked this??? cmon its a kids cartoon from the 80s,,and a good one at that imo,

    some people look into things too much ffs

  • I used to watch this show when I was little and loved it! I'm 15 and I've got the DVD box set!

  • BBBBBBEEEEERRRRRRRRRK

    FEED ME!!!

    Epic i love that show

  • ''Your a FOOOOL!!! if u dare!!'' kinda harsh..can they say that? i bet no cartoon intro will these days :D

  • ''BUT thats nothing....''

  • Oh my god YES! I loved this show as a kid, it was scary, but still a great laugh and fun.

    Why can't shows these days be more like this :(

  • Kids' tv was so much better back in the day when some shows were darker and a bit more scary. Children like that sort of thing too.

  • hahaha that fucking bonesy character gave me nightmares when i was a kid.

  • This still isn't as scary as the Johnson and friends intro.

  • 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

  • Willy Rushton FTW!

  • all my x's are down there..

  • i used to love this

  • 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 . . .

  • @ethelbumcrum There's a Trapdoor DVD? Oh my god YES! Do want!

  • @Raylel2 Is Trap Door I'm Scary

  • I thought I was badass because this didn't scare me at the age of 4. It scares me now...

  • Stay away from my back door!

  • What I wouldn't give to have been in the production room when someone pitched this show:

    "So, I've got this idea for a kids show, brace yourself..."

    xD

  • These shows taught us something. Because of the Trap door, I can now move my eyes.

  • I have a trapdoor like this in my minecraft castle. You really don't want to go down there.

  • @tuschman168 guess its full of griefers and creepers?

  • holy shit that's jeremy irons

  • @AWolfMusic 'Fraid not. It was Willy Rushton.

  • Oh GAAAAAAAAAAAAWD! This stuff gave me nightmares, back in the ninetees. Well, actually it was only one, but it was the worst I've ever had.

  • What the fuck did I just watch?

  • I swear theme is clearly Micheal Jackson inspired.

  • This show used to be me an adreneline rush that I was daring to watch something creepy.

  • I just loved this show.....Great theme song ever.

  • i have the feeling they got the idead for Grim from the girm adventures of billy and mandy from the skeleton head

  • 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.

  • scared the fucking living shit out of me as a kid..........

  • @paulieismg same, was the spider one for me

  • Berk: Helloooo

    haha

  • Bert: Helllooooo haha.

  • Oh my god. I remembered this

    

  • The narrator for this inspired my voice acting career.

  • Is that it!

    LOL

  • i think i just found my new ringtone!

  • I remeber watching this as a kid hella good show.

  • I'm so thankful I was born in the 1980s and was able to appreciate things like this. Kids today don't know what they're missing.

  • Is the voice over guy John Hurt?

  • when we were kids we took it for granted but now i realise

  • Kids need to see more stop-motion animation.

    Make them realise there's alternatives to CGI.

  • the video game scared me loads

  • Trapdoor was some scary shit when I was 4

  • oh god nostalgia overload

  • @SilverNinjaUmbreon When? 1984 I think. But I watched it when I was little and I'm 13 now and I live in the UK.

  • BURT FEED ME!!!!! best line ever!!!

  • Is the narrator Tony Jay?! D:

  • @MamboCat84 It's Willie Rushton. :)

  • @Kezzathetruck indeed

  • 18 people had no childhoods. Has that been said already?

  • This makes me feel old :(

    This was good times, but so long ago.

  • I want Alan Rickman to do a version of this...

  • I was the blobby thing in the trap door

  • @chalk8y8 very very very true

  • 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...

  • I want to be a kid again.

  • 4 people need to go fall down the trapdoor

  • this used to scare me silly when I watched it at my grandmas..

  • modern kids dont get their daily amount of plasticine animation anymore.

  • @robowen1

    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?

  • @andrewwpwhite1978 I'm 29 and have it on dvd, it's still brilliant!

  • Wow is that really Vincent Price!

  • @jimmeno No, it was Willie Rushton

  • you're a fool if you dare...

  • omfg its been like 7 years since i last watched this !

  • @talian2mprez same, maybe longer! :P

  • 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..."

  • Berk is rhyming slang: Berkshire Hunt.....

    You can guess the rest!

  • 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!

    DON'T YOU OPEN THAT TRAP DOOR!

    Your a fool if you dare

    Stay away from that Trap door.

    Cause there's something down there :P :P :P

  • @B1ushMoe He's an overworked snake, ey?
