[Robin33rune]

MY CHILDHOOD :D

[parrotcar]

I had this on VHS, it had a proper strange atmosphere to it. I couldnt remember what it was called and i was lookin at other cartoons from my childhood and then I saw this lol its amazing how you forget these things but there all in your mind somewhere. Its quite sad really because i remember how great those times were, master systems, mega drives and ps1s, riding bmx's, watching cartoons, playing with lego, football on the street, making stuff, drawing. Adult life is boring and stressful.

[4getfulness16]

Best show!

[GrudgeGamer]

[UchiihaSasuke]

OMG THE TRAP DOOOR !!!!!

[Longs81]

This show was fucking epic! "Buuuuuuuuuuuurt" where's my dinner?????" It always made me laugh how whatever nasty fucking horrible shitty thing came out the trapdoor they could always bung it in the dumb-waiter then send it up to the bloke upstairs and he'd eat it lol.

[falkerhard]

Stay away from that trap door!!! There might be poopy down there!

[Endelite]

I actually had a small picture book based on the episode with the Splund! I'll have to see if we still have it tucked away somewhere! Ohh, I do hope so!

[jono23butthead00]

[DecoMcA65]

@jono23butthead00 you have my childhood life :L

[maddymouse46]

So good!!!! Why did they cut his show :(

[tangoman111]

I forget, did we ever see Burkes master?

[battyryda]

I used to have this game on my spectrum.... amazing game..could never actually figure out what to do though so i ended up just dumping everything down the trapdoor lol

[MachineGun28]

@battyryda What? You never made boiled slimies?

[GamerPrinceMXZ]

When i watched this show as a child, i was extremly excited.

when i watch it now, i feel almost traumtised (still, its a fantastic little opening)

[animals68]

wasn't there an extended version of this theme song? i'm looking but i can't find it can anyone help?

[ThingOnASpring74]

@animals68 yes. I remember there was an episode which just played the theme music for about 10 minutes .

[andrewwpwhite1978]

For the love of God don't open that trapdoor!

[ByeByeBelly]

lol didnt the trap door just cause him stress and cause problems? like i dont remember anything particularly scary in there, things would just come out and bother him lol

[CarpMagic95]

Oh by the way, thanks for the upload, Loving these reminders of what were great times in both life and tv for me. Glad to see many places like the asda website etc are doing old 80s etc classics cheap on dvd like this and pidgeon street and count duckula and loads of others. Gives my kids a chance to sample what real entertainment is, as far as im concerened horrid henry and ben 10 can go take a running jump hehe.

[CarpMagic95]

This and many others we grew up on in the 80s and early 90s are available to buy on dvd or download online, im trying to get nearly every show i grew up watching including this, fraggle rock, dogtanian, superted and loads of others.. On dvd and downloads for my kids to watch. The shows they have are pants compared to these classics! I dont want them to miss out on the fantastic tv i had as a kid.

[russellfoureyes]

Yet another Kids TV show with wonderful narration...

[TheRandyChimp]

My college teacher worked on this show. It'd be more impressive if he wasn't such a wanker.

[RichTification]

[michaelfergusonuk]

Without doubt the best Series to be shown on Channel-4 (or anywere ;)

(most of what C-4 broadcasts though is still rubbish)

[starlightdesire83]

When I was little I used to love Trap Door then I started to get scared because of the intro so never watched anymore and just yesterday I faced my fear and watched the intro and I realise how much love Trap Door and I'm not scared anymore.

[HauntedFrancisco]

As a child, I thought it was a rather creepy intro song for a cartoon, but I still loved it. It was (almost) like watching a scary movie for kids, in a way.

[Fayth202]

I remember this show was my daily ritual to watch, I would sulk if it wasn't on. I vote to bring Trap door back to our screens!

[ramoneschick1]

[MckMick]

@raggiedoll2008 I know! The only distinct memories i had of this was "Trapdoor", the eyes and the room where the trapdoor is :P

[CaptainHowdyxD]

HOly shit I forgot this show existed 'til right now

[DarthRevan1051]

RIP Willie Rushton

[tweek1133]

Best fucking intro in the history of Children's Television

[Hoptail]

woahhhh, i remember this..

blast from the past much.

[4getfulness16]

Don't you open that Trap Door! You're a fool if you dare. Stay away from that Trap Door! Coz there's something down there!

[holomatrix]

This was the fucking BEST, along with Button Moon this was the FUCKING BOLLOCKS of kids TV. Season 1 & 2 is on DVD on Play.com for £2.99!!! YEAH BABY YEAH!!! >=)

[love2punk]

FUCK I REMEMBER THIS!

[Laureniva12]

Burk v Dora... BURK. SHE'D PUSH HER DOWN THE TRAP DOOR!!

[rohannesburg]

THE 90's WERE THE BEST, Now THey have just Ruined Cartoons for every1, CHEEZ TV OWNS THE SHIT OUT OF TOASTED TV

[Avatar230594]

@rohannesburg it's sad and the motherfuckers took Gargoyles off and never showed it I loved that show and I mean ABC3 is SHIT!!! I mean Rollercoaster was pretty good but ABC 3 those 2 are so immature

[KRAFTWERK2K6]

thumbs up if you agree that 80s and 90s brought up the best animation series ever!!!

[Sposchy]

@KRAFTWERK2K6

Actually, cartoons back then were no better than what they make today (in fact, probably not as good if anything). It's just that when they came out we were kids, and remembering our childhood is a pleasant experience. Basically, it's not the cartoons that we enjoy, it's remembering being a kid.

The saddest part about all that is that some psychologist actually spent years doing a study to prove it.

[alZiiHardstylez]

@Sposchy Fuck off, this show was legit.

[Sposchy]

@alZiiHardstylez

I don't know about that...

I'm sure someone who didn't grow up in the 90's wouldn't think this show as anything special.

[julzham]

@Sposchy Have you seen In The Night Garden?? Fool

[Sposchy]

@julzham

I have, and it's bad.

But there were bad shows in the 90s too. Remember Teletubbies?

[julzham]

@Sposchy Sure do... The pre-cursor to all those crap british nonsense shows. But where are all the shows these days that are, as you say, better than the likes of Trap Door, SuperTed, Babar, Bangers and Mash, BananaMan, Thomas (I know Thomas is still going but all the new characters are rubbish), and etcetera....

[Sposchy]

@julzham

It's out there. I don't watch much children's television anymore, but Wolverine and the X-men and the 2004-ish series of Basil Brush beats them. Ask your nearest 10 year old and they'll be able to list a whole bunch of great 2000s kids shows.

[Sposchy]

@julzham

Anyway, as I mentioned before, it's not the shows themselves we like, it's the reminiscing of our childhood.

I mean, for example, Thomas has only got better over the years with new technology, but you prefer the old one. You said that the new characters are "rubbish". If you watch it again with an analytical mindset, you'll find that the new characters are similar to the old ones. The only difference is that you don't remember the new ones from your childhood.

That was my point.

[89Corvera]

@Sposchy Looking at the past through rose tinted glasses eh?

[Endelite]

@Sposchy I think that was too late in the 90s to count. Surely! If not, then it's the shows FROM the 80s and earlier 90s that were best, anyway.

[Sposchy]

@Endelite

We all the shows we watched as kids are the best. If you grew up in a different generation, you'd say the same thing about the cartoons from then.
