Anyone remember this from Saturday Morning's on the BBC.

Not sure how to embed it, sorry.

Quite a few fans of that show round these parts if I remember correctly. It's definitely come up before in a couple of other threads.

Great show.

Can't really remember much of it myself apart from;
"This is the Evergreen Forest, quiet, peaceful, serene...
That is until Burt Racoon wakes up."

The shot of the dog jumping up to lick Burt brought the memories flooding back.

One of my favourite shows of my childhood. I have the DVDs they have released. The theme tune is brilliant.

I haven't thought of that show in years. I loved it when I was young.

What were the pink lads supposed to be? I can't seem to remember

I loved this show when I was small!! Fantastic

What were the pink lads supposed to be? I can't seem to remember

mud hens as far as I remember. Gonzo from the muppets is also supposed to be one, don't know what they look like in real life.

Wre they 'snorks'? or was that a different cartoon entirely?

Unpossible

the snorks was a different cartoon

funktastic

The two small pink lads were the pigs. They were Cyril Sneer's drones. Basically like Be-Bop and Rock-Steady on The Turtles (who were the most rockin' cartoon characters ever).

I HATED this cartoon. I cant explain why. It was one of those
cartoons that was at some sort of critical turning point where
they became a little different to everything I liked.
I might of been a little old when it first came on the telly though.

Cryil is an aardvark according to Wikipedia.

I always thought Cyril was a Tapir

I never liked Burts nose.

Get your legwarmers on and get ready to sing into your hairbrushes
