Dick Spanner - Case Of The Maltese Parrott - Part 1

Dick Spanner, P.I. was a 1986 British stop-motion animated comedy series which parodied Chandleresque detective shows. The titular character and main protagonist was Dick Spanner, voiced by Shane Rimmer, a robotic private detective who works cases in a futuristic urban setting. The show made frequent use of puns and visual gags. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Spanner

I can´t believe that they swapped out the music on the dvd for some pisspoor jazz...this is the real deal

Awesome! The old VHS version with the original synthesizer soundtrack! I used to watch this on Showcase in the late 90's. I'd watch whatever was on until the end of the broadcast day, anywhere between 2:00 am and 5:00 am. It was immediately followed be 'Oh Canada' and then a test screen. DON'T get the DVD version, the soundtrack is changed, the cheesy synths are gone and some of the sound gags are lost. I bought the PAL VHS from 1987 but haven't taken it to a conversion house yet. Thanks!
