Ah, the Raggy Dolls! Known mainly for the theme tune (can anyone actually remember a plot, what they did or why they existed?), and relegated to those conversations when everyone works out how old you are from what kids' TV programmes you remember, "Chorlton and the Wheelies?! You're ancient!!". Consequently I only admit to being a fan of Bucky O'Hare (He Man? Who's he?). I found them (brace yourself for sacrilege) boring.
I have a soft spot for animations. The following is a really good one by Shane Acker I spotted on io9 and it's apparently going to be developed into a full length version, I hope it keeps its quality and spirit. When you're watching the Raggy Doll connection soon becomes apparent. If only Hi Fi, Sad Sack and Claude had had to face slathering, mechanical, skull-beasts it would have made the series much more exciting. Join in with me:
Soooo - if you are at ease
with your knobbly knees
and you're running for your life.
Construct a deadly trap
and sharpen up a knife...
