A wobbly dog and cynical cat wage chaotic backyard wars — narrated by national treasure Richard Briers.
Roobarb and Custard: The Complete Collection has a lot of 69 episodes, the two pre-school children's shows including the 1974 tv show "Roobarb" (30 eps). and the 2005 revival series "Roobarb and Custard Too" (39 eps).
Acting
Richard Briers' narration — pure melodic mischief, every syllable a joy.
Production
Wobbly 'boiling' animation — deliberately imperfect, utterly hypnotic.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'boiling' animation effect was created by drawing on paper, then refilming with intentional camera wobble — no two frames match.
Creator Grange Calveley wrote the original after his own dog Roobarb's chaotic energy; the show became a post-school ritual for 70s British kids who now quote it to their grandchildren.
