Does anyone remember this?

This is my favourite episode where Tidyup catches naughty pox and Stoppit goes to the valley of the sit-downs to bring one back cos they have magical powers to cure the naughty-pox...

Watching this as a child must have made me pre-disposed to a love of hallucinogens, surely!
I'm glad I'm not a child today as they have to watch utter shite that has clearly not been written by people on drugs.

yeah, i remember this!

That's pretty awesome.

hooray! i had this on video and watched it years later when tripping but it was a bit unecessary really... i think i just sat there going 'look at the naughties!!'

I'm not so sure about the hallucinogens but I remember that confusing the bejesus out of me as a bairn. Terry Wogan narrating, always a good thing. It's the idea of personifying a series of commands into odd creatures that strikes me as more schizophrenic than psychedelic.

Edit: as in this.

what the fuck are you mumbling about cajitas. no, i like you, i just don't know what the fuck this gibberish refers to. please post a wikipedia entry for orientation-- i think this is about medicine not hippiedom.

everyone is on drugs, by the way. not sure if you've yet found out.

look like he has gas problems

here you go then....

Stoppit and Tidyup was a British children's animated cartoon series originally broadcast by the BBC in 1987. The series was created by Charles Mills and Terry Brain, the duo behind CMTB Animation who had previously created a claymation called The Trap Door. Apart from the main characters Stoppit, a red ball of fluff, and Tidyup, a gherkin-loving purple lump, the supporting characters included Comb Your Hair, Wash Your Face, Hurry Up, Go and Play, Calm Down, Not Now, Bee Have, Bee Quiet, Go to Bed, Don't Do That, Take Care, Eat Your Greens, Clean Your Teeth and the big, bad I Said No, not to mention Say Please And Say Thank You. There were also extra characters called Naughties and Sit Downs, and they all lived in the mythical land of Do As You're Told. Each episode was five minutes in length. The series was part funded by The Tidy Britain Group, a Wigan-based organisation whose aim was to reduce the amount of unsolicited rubbish in and around the United Kingdom.

happy?
yes i think he does have gas problems and quite a few other problems too

i remember it but not that well. its not as good as rubbarb and custard though.

Did you ever here the rave remix of the theme tune from Rhubarb and Custard?
