Product Description
Animated fun for kids with Roobard and Custard in their updated 2005 digital incarnation, which retains all the hallmarks of their original cult adventures. In 'When There Was a Surprise', Roobarb builds a new computer to help him with his inventions and realises that technology does not always work the way you want it to. In 'When the Laughing Had to Stop', Roobarb sets up an artist studio and paints a masterpiece portrait of Custard. In 'When Rookie Fell Out of the Sky', Roobarb develops some silly sport wings in an attempt to help his old friend Rookie fly again. In 'When There Was an Elephant', a travelling elephant, with a case of the sneezes, arrives in the garden on a very hot day. In 'When the Books Went Bye-Bye', Roobarb throws all his books out and challenges Custard to a test of knowledge. In 'When There Was a Wind-Up', Custard mocks Roobarb as he starts a new clockwork invention. In 'When Roobarb Went On a Fitness Drive', Custard persuades Roobarb to lose the fat and get fit. In 'When Modern Thingamajigs Need Tweaking', Custard becomes an entertainment svengali and secretly signs-up Moggy Malone and Poodle Princess. In 'When Communications Weren't The Best', Roobarb builds and launches the most amazing satellite. Finally, in 'When the Garden Was Dry', Roobarb decides to irrigate the garden during a hot summer's day.

I must confess, it took me a few weeks to realize that this was not the original that I had watched as a child. However, I can confirm that it is every bit as wonderful as before and I am enjoying just as much as I did 30 years ago. The theme tune starts up and you are transported to the 1970's with zany plots, crazy characters and Richard Briers. I have no hesitation is recommending this to anyone and am eagerly waiting for Vol.2 to drop through my letterbox. My kids love it too.

Anyone who grew up in the 70s will remember the zany cartoon antics of Roobarb & Custard. Roobarb the bright green dog who invents crazy machines in the garden shed and his arch nemesis Custard the purple cat who is always on hand to throw a comedy spanner in the works. This new series of shows carries on where most of us left off in our childhood; great puns and wordplay for all the kids in the room and a huge dollop of nostalgia for everyone else, fun for all the family.

Mad mayhem from the much-loved back garden characters of my childhood. I have seen the occasional episode from this new series on channel 5's Milkshake! and enjoyed them as much as the kids. The animation's all wonky as you'd expect and the brilliant Richard Briers is a genius. Great fun and silly word play. More please!

childhood revisited and not disappointed
Even better than I remember and my own kids are now obsessed with it. Fantastic to hear the lovely late Richard Briers' voiceover too. What a fabulous story teller!
