Don't you open that Trap Door!

[LoLBOT189]

I am proud to say i existed when cartoons such as this masterpiece where in their prime :)

[MrComedy01]

7 people opened the trap door

[GlasgowPhilosipher]

How many TV shows could get away with making an episode about their own theme song?

One.

This one.

Stay away from that Trap DOOoooorrr....

[cathryn200]

My favorite epsode ever :)

[Buginarugable]

My favorite episode :)

[wosagashitemiski]

dont open that drapdoor thers something down there

[DivineRequiem]

I loved this show since I was a kid and it is still brilliant. RIP Willie Rushton (voiced all the characters), he made this show and his wit will be missed.

[GiromCalica]

Too bad I can't watch this on TV as I wasn't born that time yet.

[HeavyWeaponsGuy1001]

@GiromCalica Found you

[GiromCalica]

@HeavyWeaponsGuy1001 DOH

[astrocitizen]

Wasn't there a video on youtube of the LOST cast members watching this on an old reel?

[jowie74]

I LIKES THE MUSIC.

[shenloken2]

"BURKE!! What's all that noise!!?"

The Thing sounds like my dad. XD

[irishheadderrrrrrzz]

@shenloken2 his name was "berk"

[diannagrana1]

Love this song!!! great song to rock out to at a party !

[wadey82]

This was brilliant so ahead of it's time, best childrens program ever.

[the1986albatross]

This is kind of like the plasticine version of the Thriller video! Epic!

[AngelCakeEnterprises]

I've never seen this before, but that is one scary-ass trap door! :D

[MrSpeedDemon666]

Damn its been years since i seen this! Its still actually pretty funny :P

[banneradders]

1985 great cartoon! Colourful, Imaginative, Fun and..... Willie Rushton legend, rest in peace

[Mriya6]

*plays it again!* 8D

[mightywibble]

the word epic is so over used especialy when used to express stupid things, but this is FUCKING EPIC

[fauxfuchsiadarling]

This is from the 80's? I watched it when i was little probably from 1997-2001?

[TheWolfBearProject]

@fauxfuchsiadarling i hav a VHS of this from around 1997 i think. So its probs 90's

[Duvmasta]

I like that bug that flashes blue and yellow.

[inc2000glw]

@Duvmasta MFKN spinna bug

[torno99]

someone should make lyrics to this

[DeckyStrikesBack]

its a rad-lio!

[malikussparticus]

SO old skool!!

[devilskitchen08]

you get episodes of this on virgin central or tv choice if you have cable from virgin

[JPW383]

I like this song too. It's cool The full version is so good. I really hated how the intro was so short.

Cause you just get into it they build it up with the verse then they bring in the awesome chorus and then it's over.

But yeah making these episodes were one hell of a job. They should show it on Foxtel on one of the cartoon channels.

[SuperDooperVideoBoy]

Sounds more like Thiller.

[jopet81]

aw this takes me back!!! I loved this....have it on dvd too. it is an dying art and needs to make a come back!!!!

[coolcattigger]

Was this actually released? First time I've seen this and I love it...

[Laureniva12]

@coolcattigger Erm, well Im almost 15 and it was out before I was born... So I'd say about 1980. Ish... 0.0 maybe, dont quote me on that.

[femoman]

@Laureniva12 1984-86 to be exact.

[piratearmstrong99]

[phantomhurricane666]

not watched the trapdoor for years

[ScottM2495]

@phantomhurricane666 i used to watch these when i was a kid, so fun x]

[Rainfallenwolf]

frightening things with 16 legs, they'll wait with open jaws, that pass the time while they sing and sharpening their claws. Who'll be the first, they say, to stop my belly rumblin? Who will open that door and down that hole come tumblin? (Dont you open that trap door, you're a fool if you dare, stay away from that trap door, I know there's somethin down there!)

[Rainfallenwolf]

(continue) And its not nice! Big bad ghouls that scream all night and ghost that moan all day, dont try to look for a scary spook it'll blow your mind away. Take my word, I speak the truth there's an evil behind that door. Yeah take the plunge into that goo, and we wont see you no more! (Dont you open that trap door, you'll a fool if you try, stay away from that trap door, you'll be saying bye bye....)

[Rainfallenwolf]

Hello children, wanna hear a nice bedtime story? 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.(Don't you open that trap door, you're a fool if you dare. Stay away from that trapdoor, 'Cos there's something down there....

[omnitrixian]

This is an awesome song. But is there a site that has the lyrics, cos I can hear almost everything before the second chorus but not as much after.

[Rainfallenwolf]

@omnitrixian Posted the lyrics on this video for you in the cooments area hop it helps XD

[tomwelling4eva]

wow i used to love this show!!!!

[Chezumss]

I LIKE THIS!!!

[1Oneto2]

I remember watching this as a small child. I'm 13 almost 14 now, and its still my favourite show haha.

[JaiNobesIsARat]

I want this as MP3!!

But even more, I want one of those critters as a pet!!

Most of all though, I want my own trapdoor so i can let shit out to do amusing things whenever i want!

[frosty00808]

i used to be scared of trapdoor when i was a kid lol

[CaptainMario16]

I wonder if a site has a MP3 of this full song?

[MrJoeyWheeler]

this must have been hell for the animators!

[femoman]

Yeah, true! every shot always has some bizarre little thing moving in the back

[Violetthehedgehog756]

Loved this as a kid! :D

[mariomaniac6411]

It's a RADLIO!

[dontbringaguntoa]

I am going to be trolling Ebay for that Zygott record from now on. This is a killa tune and needs to be posted as an mp3 online asap.

[Symos]

They could have put this ep on MTV. Just chop off the opening and end credits, make the song clearer and boom, music vid

[DeadMametchi]

Let's rock loose, everyone!!

[direwolf029]

rog reminds me of donkey kong

[SeajayUKHalo]

I have the DVD <3

[Captstar2]

Willie Rushton is amazing. He even narrated the Railway Series books before they became televised in to Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.

[gunnerdan70]

[xBAMitsMEGANx]

[neadst]

Ok, does ANYONE know where I can download the full song / what it's called / who sang it etc?

Then I can put it on the Radlio! :D

[Oroyaedge]

I've been searching for the full version all day, I'm sorry to say that I think, aside from this video, that it may have been lost to time...

[neadst]

IT hasn't been!

You can buy the whole song on 7" Vinyl from at least two places on the internet!

Just type in "Zygott - Trap Door vinyl" and it should be on the first page somewhere.

Now all we need is a hi-tech recording studio...

[capmodesty]

I don't recall it ever being banned. they were stillshowing it on Channel four about 10 years ago

[quizmaster85]

If only they showed this episode on MTV...

[broooke333]

GAHHHHHHHHH

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!

[anton1990]

It's so cool to see "Big red thing", Bubo and The Slund together.

[G285LNY]

Does anyone have an MP3 version of this song? Its the only time the full version was EVER played.

[jctdrummer1719]

[pedro27mumble]

[Larawyer]

[pedro27mumble]

[EilaDaly]

hell to the yes!! not to mention actual intelligence in cartoons also on the decline...!

[Beam09]

@auxiliaryoverdrive True. And it really is a great art. Latest I know is (not with dough i think - but stop motion) is Corpse Bride. Great film!

[mmmcc7]

classic can't beat it, anyone know where i can pick a copy of the song up from. For old times sake

Thanks

[Derry266]

[Dingo1336]

super mario marshroom on 2:55 isnt it?

[quizelraht]

I think it took more than just a super mario mushroom to make these trapdoor episodes.

[Spirituse]

supermario didnt invent toadstools

[ScRuBsRoX86]

brirlliant i love it its a classic and so much better than kids programmes you get today!!! The big orange monster reminds me of the pickled onion monstermuch crisps guy lol x

[TheKevolution]

Thank you, thank you. You have performed a valuable public service here.

[FlobbaJob]

[stewiegriffin1963]

I love this episode!

[felixtreadwell]

HAHAHAA

[lucyjin82]

Oh globbits! xD

[PelipsciousPete]

This is legendary old skool stuff someone has to bring back The Trapdoor!

It's a radlio! C'mon Boney if you had a body you could boogie! lol.

Maybe Aardman Animations creators of Wallace & Gromit could do it!

In my opinion it was the most original childrens show of the eighties! Grum futtocks tuffs, Oh globbits. lol.

[insoolatshun]

i agree, i love this show. its a shame they dont show it on the analog channels on t.v. (1234)  it'd be great if they made a movie, like you said, the creators of wallace and gromit could do it. i was little when i first watched it, and i still love it now. brilliant animation.

[jonivegas]

Willie Rushton made this work, loved his voice

[siliconstate]

you're about the only one that didnt like it then i think, this show was brilliant. Kids television the way it should be.

[YouCaution]

fuck i hated this show, i still fucking hate it

[douggie9x]

that is because you have no sense of humour

prick

[pedro27mumble]

just brough this only cost a fiver weell worth it

[malinikola3]

wooow...

[Vixta44]

What's really sad is I havent seen this in YEARS and I could still sing along to every word! haha

[hemanshera777]

I've found this show interesting just by watching it from here. And when I've seen two Fan-Made Movie Trailers about it, I've become inspired to create a movie script for it myself. is anyone interested in seeing a Trap Door Movie?

[W0M]

thats for shor there should be a movie its got to be the best kids show

[hemanshera777]

I happen to be writting a Movie Script for this Series, but I'll need to find someone who'd be interested in helping me to bring it to life.

[sasukeisthemoprince]

Willie Rushton is a genius xD

[hemanshera777]

y'know, I think THIS episode looks SO good. it looks like some sort of a Music Video instead of an episode.

[brightside00]

i was so scared when i watched this asd a child!!!!

freaked me out watching it now, tho i saw the funny side!

xxxx

[esonic64]

I always hated these filler shows, but the theme song was so catchy XD

[roostar0889]

[Smegbrom]

BURK! what a name. Fukin brilliant show. Better than the violent american scheiße on the telly for kids now. Bring it back or we are going to end up with yet more chavvy little brats with 75 possible fathers.

[Azezel]

Given your sentiments, I find it ironic that you couldn't express yourself without swearing (twice).

[electronpink]

haha good point, although i think watching this programme was the scared-est i've ever been.

[whiteasaghost]

Groovy goulies!

[Therindos]

This is the very best episode ever made!

[DuelwielderAnna]

Hey, can anybody help me identify this one other cartoon as well?

I'm pretty sure it was in Claymation, too.

Anyways, there's this green two-eyed-monster. And there's also a Doll, who I think was called "Sally". And there was also some blue-blob-water-thing who lived in the toilet. He was obsessed with keeping things clean.

And I think there was a sock-monster that lived in a closet.

Thanks if you know what it is!

[ilvchi]

oh yeah i love this one its the best, its called bump in the night. the green two-eyed-monster is called mr bumpy but there aint much vids on youtube, not many people are uploading the vids
