A lot of the production of The Thief and the Cobbler happened in the UK too.
P.S. Fuck yes, Trapdoor. Also, Stoppit and Tidyup. |
What Dracko says.
Also, "The Animals of Farthing Wood" if you want a series along the lines of Watership Down and Plague Dogs.

Actually a French show. The C4 dub is the most famous version so you could consider it British in a way.
Since people are mentioning The Clangers and Bagpuss. Screenwipe did a quite wonderful tribute to the late Oliver Postgate that starts at 4:30 in this video.

yeah animals of farthing wood was damned depressing - you just knew one of the smaller non-fox animals was gonna get it everytime they decided to cross the road.

Even better was when they actually made it to the wildlife reserve. It got worse
The scene where the big bad Blue Fox (Scarface I think) savaged one of the Red Foxes 3 month old cubs to death on screen made me quit watching it and traumatised my 10 year old self. And BBC showed this at 3:30 every afternoon. Not even Eastenders was that violent and depressing at its peak.
Anyway, back to more old cartoons. There was a show on ITV called The Dreamstone. Looking back, the plot was fantasy furry nonsense. But for its time, the animation and soundtrack was absolutley lush. They gave Mike Batt (Who did the music for the Wombles), the London Symphony Orchestra to play with and the music was absolutley astounding. For a bloody kids cartoon, ITV sure spent a lot on it. Apparently, its still repeated in South America a fair bit.

I think I may have to download this now. |
I didnt even get to mention the infamous "Butcher Bird" Scene.
A Butcher Bird catches and kills all the mice babies and then impales them on barbed wire. ON SCREEN. And then proceeds to taunt the grieving mice parents when the animals find them before chowing down on some baby mice kebabs. Did I mention that they showed all the graphic bits?
The whole show is full of horrid moments like that. Also interesting that the European Broadcast Union (Who run Eurovision every year) so it was dubbed into every language under the sun.
Also, since we are mentioning more adult stuff, Stressed Eric and Its the Mr. Hell show probably count as well.
