    1 9 8 9 (UK)
    6 x 25 minute episodes

    This madcap children’s series – spun off from an episode of Dramarama – starred ex-Goodies star Bill Oddie, who also co-wrote the series with his wife, Laura Beaumont.

    Oddie played William, a toymaker and reformed meanie who used to ignore his own children and rip off other people’s.

    But he changed his ways and set up the Bubblegum Brigade – comprising William’s four mixed-up children – Jinx (Flora Fenton), Bunny (Michelle Moore), Fuddle (James Hyden) and Alph (Ian Kirkby) – who had pledged to mend broken hearts and help children in distress.

    Their chaotic attempts to do good were assisted by the amazing robot-cum-computer, WALLI (William’s Absolutely Ludicrous Looking Invention).

    The brigade were looked after by Auntie Doodah (Veronica Clifford).

    The six-part series was produced by HTV West for ITV and filmed in Bristol.
