Kids series from the late 80s

The series was entirely claymation, I think it originated from the UK?

The series focused on a clown who had a pretty funny appearance and his name was something along the lines of Chalk. He lived in an island after his house got destroyed or something?

I remember the series airing on CBeebies.

Bruh, are u sure you didn’t eat some funky clowns in your cereal this morning? A clown on an island? Sounds like a bad trip lmao.

I'm a huge fan of claymation, and I think you might be mixing up a few different shows because I can’t remember a clown on an island from UK claymation shows. There's 'Pingu' but he’s a penguin, no clowns there. 😅

Okay, I’ve got a good one for you. There was this obscure show called 'Bump in the Night', it's claymation, aired in the early nineties and there was a character named Mr. Bumpy who kinda looks like a clown...maybe? But it’s American and not on CBeebies. Could be a long shot though.

You're definitely thinking of 'The Trap Door'. It’s claymation and from the UK. The main character isn't a clown though, but a blue character named Berk. Still, worth checking out!

Wrong answer.

Nvm, I found the series, it's Charlie Chalk!

Charlie Chalk? More like Charlie Boring. Claymation has never been my jam. Dunno how u guys watched that stuff. Give me the good ol' 2D cartoons any day over that slow-moving clay.

Indeed, Charlie Chalk is a treasured part of claymation history. It was created by Ivor Wood, who also worked on Postman Pat and The Magic Roundabout. Aired on the BBC in '88, it had a rather short run of only 13 episodes. If anyone is looking for a bit of that charming nostalgia, you can still find some of the episodes uploaded on video-sharing sites!

Ah, Charlie Chalk! Such a classic from my childhood! It's funny how certain memories just stick with ya, right? I remember the unique characters like Edward Trunk and the talking coconuts. There's something so special about those shows from the late 80s, wouldn’t ya say? They don't make 'em like that anymore!

Idk if this helps, but I remember a claymation show with weird characters, and I think there was a clown-like character? Or maybe I’m mixing up shows.

Hmm, I’m not sure, but could it be 'Oakie Doke'? It's also claymation and from the UK, although the main character there is an acorn guy and not a clown.

Oh wow, that sounds a lot like 'Morph' which was a claymation series from the UK but the main character wasn't a clown. Check out 'The Adventures of Morph' maybe it's the one?
