It had scribble animation and I’m pretty sure there was a pink cat and all the animation was jolty. I remember the theme tune. I feel like Jelly was in the title or was the name of one of the animals. I reckon it would have been the 1970s.

Oh yes Rhubarb and Custard sounds like it would've been the English Title but I bet it's the same programme.

Loved it, my girls used to watch it.

DH and i were reminiscing about Rhubarb and Custard recently.

Looked the theme tune up on youtube - it sounds really sleazy !!! 😳🤪

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 28/08/2025 15:07

It’s so funny as I’ve just gone and had a look at the animation and I’ve remembered it wrong. I knew the cat was pink but thought he was made up of loads of scribbles. Memory is a funny thing. Thank you 👏💐

I think the scribble thing was a Mr Man character and I’ve morphed the two together.

Me too

TheGodsOfTheCopybookHeadings · 28/08/2025 15:16

I was completely wrong! I had a fun time reminiscing anyway.

Pianoaholic · 28/08/2025 15:19

Richard Briers did the narration.
I loved miou and miau which was an animation about 2 cats. (Mentioned upthread). My kids loved it when they were young.

That spelling is much better than the one I found on Wikipedia; makes sense in Italian though.

Cutest little programme.

The weird jolting theme tune of R&C combined with the vibrating scribbly animation used to make me feel ill lol and was the only kids show I couldn’t watch!
