No Trap Door?

 

Maybe they only wanted one Cosgrove Hall show per day? Probably not, but if it was bumped in favour of Duckla and DM I'm ok with that. They could have left off my parents are aliens though, maybe in favour of Bad Influence or some more knightmare (n.Ricky).

I'm sure there was a show in the 90s on CITV that was set in a swamp or sewer and all characters (animals I think) were puppets, any idea what it was or if it was even real?

 

I remember it couldn't tell you the name, which is going to bug me now.

 

Edit : it was Round the Bend. God bless google.

Spatz! Woof! Mike & Angelo! I'm going to have to delete a shitload from the Sky planner for all this. On an unrelated note, the brilliant theme for Spatz was identical to music for one of the levels on Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion.

Are you sure? That sounds like 'The Adventures of Grady Greenspace' to me. Scariest TV programme I've ever seen. Don't think I've met anyone else who remembers it for ages, but it was absolutely fucking terrifying.

Yeah, I don't think it was Round the Bend, it could be The Adventures of Grady Greenspace, I can remember it being quite strange and dark as a child, just trying to thing the theme/intro to see if I can remember.
