The Treacle People Channel

The Treacle People. A glutinous tale of treacle-mining folk!

Celebrating its 15th continuous year on British television, meet 'The Treacle people' -- a lovable but barmy bunch who busy themselves in the treacle mines of Northern England, making sure that the world is never short of the sticky stuff!

From the writer of 'Danger Mouse!' and 'Wind In The Willows', this BAFTA-nominated series is suitable for children of all ages and features characters like Tapper Knowle, Chief Mining Engineer and the Boggarts -- mischievous but cuddly creatures who keep the mines clear of treacle chippings.

As the story begins, times are hard for The Treacle People. The once great treacle mines are running dry and the treacle industry is in trouble. Things look bleak for Professor Baines-Pillings, inventor of the world's first treacle-powered engine and all the others who depend upon the sticky stuff for a living.

That is until Rosie and Wizzle, the local youngsters, enter the scene. Armed with just a simple treacle divining stick, they chance upon untold riches...
But will the good luck last, or will The Treacle People come to a sticky end?

26 X 10 minute episodes plus 1 X 15 minute BAFTA-nominated Christmas Special.
