round the bend?
Maori
ITV. it had a crocodile who lived in the sewers and loads of extremely
wacky, politically uncorrect humour to boot. it was banned by mary
whitehouse for this very reason. i am looking for any info anyone has on the
program. links, videos for sale anything which would be of use. i loved the
program as a kid and now crave it again.
thanks in advance

Oh, I remember it. :) 'Twas produced by the Spitting Image Workshop
(and thus numbering Kate Robbins among its cast). A minor classic in
its time, and unusually irreverent for a kids' show. I loved it,
particularly all the takes on other shows -- Thunderpants! Wee-man
and the Masters of the Loo-niverse! :D

Hah. She /attempted/ to ban it, but the National Viewers and
Listeners Association was never that powerful a lobby, thankfully.

There I can't help, I'm afraid, since my memories aren't for sale. ;)
Good luck in looking!

I vaguely remember it, which is odd really, because I can't have been
very old when it was on - I'm only 17 now :-) I seem to recall them
doing a Care Bears spoof but I can't remember what it was called.
