Chorlton and the wheelies
This DVD collection contains 4 dvd's comprising of the the complete adventures for Chorlton and his friends from Wheelie World. It includes all 40 episodes plus the Christmas Special.
The theme tune should jog all memories of people who remember Chorlton.
"Jump in we'll take you for a spin and show you round the Wheelie World".
Nostalgia here we come………

The cast consisted of
•Chorlton, the hapiness dragon,
•Zoomer, a wheelie
•King otto and Queen doris, the monarchs of wheelie world
•Jenny, a wheelie girl who has a crush on Charlton
•The Chamberlain, a wheelie MP
•Claptrap, fenellas taking spell book
•O'reilly, fenellas telescope
•Fenella, a spectacularly useless witch (who hated Charlton with a passion) with a base camp at Spout Hall (a big kettle)
•Fenellas underlings, mushroom-like "toadies" and "spikers"
•Clifford, Fenellas son, who was only ever shown as a huge disembodied foot.

It was broadcast between 1976 - 1979, and If you watched tv in the 70s then this was as weird as it got
The first series opens with "Happiness is Hatched", wherein, of course, Chorlton arrives fully formed in Wheelie World via an enormous egg. Which had "made in chorlton-cum-hardy" on the inside of the egg, hence chorlton got his name.
Basically chorlton wakes up from an egg one day and he awakens the Wheelies and brightens up the Wheelie World. It had been a long time since Wheelie World had seen a ray of sunshine.
The wheelies have three wheels each: two large ones at the front, and a smaller centred one at the back. The wheels are replaceable, and suitable wheels grow on vegetation found in Wheelie World.

Fenella who lives in the green kettle ie Spout Hall is furious with his arrival and sets about her many demented plans to be rid of him. She has magical powers which include teleporting and her enchanted assistants include a talking book called 'Claptrap Von Spilldebeans' and 'O'Reilly' the Telescope.
Her minions include spikers, sinister looking objects like conker shells with baleful eyes, which roll everywhere and toadies who are pointed toadstools with similar eyes, who travel by bobbing through the ground as though it were water.

Charlton isn't the sharpest tool in the box but by (mostly) accident he beats her evil plans every time.
