Chorlton and The Wheelies
 Chorlton and the Wheelies featured Fenella the Witch who
did not like anyone to enjoy themselves.
Fenella lived with her army of evil toadstools in Spout Hall (a
giant kettle) and had cast a spell upon Wheelie World - home of
The Wheelies.
The Wheelies (talking balls on wheels) were usually very happy
and energetic little creatures. Sadly, Fenella's spell left them
in a lifeless world of silence and misery.
One day a mysterious giant egg appeared on the scene. Out of
this egg hatched Chorlton, the Happiness Dragon (who actually
looked more like a plump dog and had a thick Northern accent).
Chorlton brought back happiness and joy to Wheelie World, much to
the annoyance of Fenella.
The Wheelies themselves were rather annoying (Zoomer and Jenny
really did need a good kicking), but the star Wheelie was the
fabulous Queen Doris, forever saying "Gorgeous!".
Seventies children's TV at its strangest and best.
