I was watching something on TV today and the mentioned Chorlton and the Wheelies. I heard the name in the past and looked it up and found it on here - yet i realise i have never seen it before or heard the tune - but its nice anyway
Nobody even believed me that this bloody show ever existed. After I tried to explain what it was about and who was meant to be in it for maybe the 7th time, only to be met, yet again, with jeers and contemptuously mocking laughter, I actually doubted it myself.
Now, thanks to youtube and andie6666, my wounded rage is subsiding and I can say a hearty "fuck you" to all my persecutors.
The original run of this series was in the 1970's but it was certainly repeated some time in the early 1980s, one episode was definately shown on the 24th of august as it was my birthday and i remember watching it, by strange coincidence it was the episode where it was also chorltons birthday! i was at my grandmothers in gelligaer at the time as she thought it was funny, but i cant remember the actual year, it was either 1983 or 1984, if anyone out there knows please can someone tell me!
If only Chorlton was really like this - rather than being crammed with pasty faced veggies that look like zombies. Or lezzers that all look like Harry Potter. Or pretend eco types that still drive to the office in the guzzling volvo 4 x 4. Or stinky types that are scared of soap. God I can't stand Chorlton.
How much Wah Wah? lol like the simlarly wah-wah drenched 'Jamie and the Magic torch', this intro reminded me of how psychedelic the theme tunes were back then
Im always amazed how they got away with this show it was pretty racist really. I watched a full episode about a year ago and they had these sneaky chinese mushrooms (hiroshima) and a german spell book with the star of david on it !! and the welsh evil wizard, then they had this irish telescope so basically they were saying the welsh are evil, chinese are sneaky, germans are associated with judaismirish and the irish are stupid hhmmmmmm try doing that these days you would get lynched.
@tonymontana1974 Yes you would get lynched because of moronic PC wankers who bleat on as if young children have a sophisticated social and political world view that may be tainted by watching a bloody puppet show.
Just sad how much time these people have on their hands.
Ello little old lady.......Chorlton, I loved you more than Jamie & his magic torch.....You were the relief to me after having to watch the Sullivans with my mum!!
The fucking drugs are kicking in.

With a round orange head and a round black nose the dragon looks like Heathcliff. A crazy cartoon cat.
