I actually did some key animation for this programme while working with ‘Wireless Pictures Ltd.’ based in the lace market in Nottingham back in the late 80s early 90s.
YES!!! YES!!! OH MY GOD, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO REMEMBER THE NAME OF THIS SHOW FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS!!! LITERALLY, THIS HAS BEEN HAUNTING ME, DAY IN OUT DAY OUT FOR SO LONG. GOD. I THINK I'M JUST GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE 'O' MOMENT IF NO ONE ELSE MINDS.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS! seriously me and my sister could only remeber the theme tune and couldnt remember the actual tv show! i have been looking for this for AGESSSS!!! :D
A friend of mine told me yesterday that he worked on this back in the day, and I couldn't remember the program, but after seeing this it's all brought it back!! Hahaaa Rock On Fiddley Foodle, there's some seriously trippy undertones to this!!
This show RULED I was 6 at the time of it's original broadcast and was THRILLED when i found an old video of it in a charity shop, had to fetch the VCR outta the attic and then pracically cried aged 23 because the video quality was SO poor lol. 1991 was it's original transmission
My step dad created the Fiddley Foodle Bird. No joke!!! We have Fiddley's hat downstairs. How kl u all remember it. Think big walk tall!!!I have a Tshirt and everything
lol .. i certainly remember it ... I was one of the animators ... lol .. the good ol' days of drawing on paper, painting on cel and shooting on film ... aaahhh ..
You legend! I really hate all this computer animation rubbish. Proper cel animation all the way! \o/
And that show was utterly, utterly mentally brilliant. I don't know why it's not out on DVD yet. Most of its contemporaries seem to be! Here's hoping.
I do still like to work the old ways, but mostly I draw directly into the computer using a tablet, keeps the trees happy anyway, several thousand sheets of paper to make Fiddley foodle ya know! :D
I might try capturing some clips for the old vhs ... we'll see
Wahey! someone else remembers it! I thought it was a figment of my imagination cos no-one ever seems to know what the hell i'm going on about when I launch into a rendition of the theme tune!! Bim bam boodle tastic!!!
@bigrodney76 I was exactly the same, accept I first mentioned this 10 years ago to my friends in 6th form and they thought I was nuts. Even more so when I tried to recreate the actions of the bird along with squawking noises!
I'm 30 now but have never forgotten this - used to love it...........(wish i could get it on dvd...lol)
