Batty is an eccentric bicycle messenger/delivery man and incurable daydreamer who gets into all kinds of thrilling situations to relieve the boredom of his job.
He also provides important tips on how to have your own adventures – the main secret is to start recognising objects for what they really are . . .
And so an ordinary litter bin turns into the beautiful French spy Anna Conda; an old kettle becomes Big Chief Sitting Gerbil; and a sack of fertiliser is terrifyingly transformed into the evil Commandant Weeniwinkelhof.
Batty’s missions include defeating the fearsome Giant Economysize, bringing Peace and Quiet to the Wild West, and destroying the Evil Empire of Larf Harder.
The BBC children’s series was written by Chris Allen, who also played the part of Batty (as CJ Allen), produced by Angela Beeching and directed by Marilyn Fox.
