Funnybones



Funnybones was a Welsh children's television comedy series which was first aired in Welsh on S4C and in English on BBC One in 1992. It was based on the eponymous series of books by Janet and Allan Ahlberg which were illustrated by Andre Amstutz, and focused upon the adventures of a gang of skeletons (sometimes known as the Funnybones). There was Big ("Senior") Funnybone (whose catchphrase was "Good idea."), Little ("Junior") Funnybone, (who was the brains of the outfit), and (White, White) Dog ("These Bones") Funnybone (whose catchphrase was "Woof."). Each episode was 5 minutes in length. The voices were provided by popular comedian Griff Rhys Jones who also played Moon Man, who served as the narrator in the TV series.
