Roobarb
Roobarb and Custard Too
Johnny Hawksworth’s jangly theme music, Bob Godfrey’s wobbly animation and the voice-over by Richard Briers, these are all the hallmarks of the Roobarb and Custard animation series that hit our TV screens in 1974. 50 years on Roobarb still captivates generations with four-and-a-half minutes of pulsating anarchic cartoon madness all drawn with magic markers is pure TV heaven!
Series 1
ROOBARB! - The mangy green mongrel with overactive imagination takes centre stage for the complete collection of his hair-brained schemes
CUSTARD! - Roobarb’s next door neighbour, a lazy and mischievous bright pink cat, who’s always ready to poke fun at Roobarb’s mishaps! And some rather excitable birds.
Each fun-packed episode finds Roobarb going about some lunatic mission or other, closely watched by Custard from his spot on the garden fence. There’s always an audience to laugh at him when things go wrong...as they invariably do! Includes all 30 episodes from the original series now fully restored from the original film negatives.
Series 2
Enjoy once again the antics of ROOBARB, the ever-optimistic green dog, whose inventions more often than not go spectacularly wrong - much to the delight of the sarcastic pink cat, CUSTARD.
ROOBARB AND CUSTARD returned after 30 years to the small screen. These all new 39 episodes retain all the charm of the original cult 1970’s adventures and they are narrated again by the unforgettable Richard Briers.
