Funnybones was a Welsh children's television comedy series which was first
aired in Welsh on S4C and in English on BBC One in 1992. It was based on the
eponymous series of books by Janet and Allan Ahlberg which were illustrated by
Andre Amstutz, and focused upon the adventures of a gang of skeletons
(sometimes known as the Funnybones). There was Big
("Senior") Funnybone (whose catchphrase was "Good
idea."), Little ("Junior") Funnybone, (who was the brains
of the outfit), and (White, White) Dog ("These Bones") Funnybone
(whose catchphrase was "Woof."). Each episode was 5 minutes in
length. The voices were provided by popular comedian Griff Rhys Jones who also
played Moon Man, who served as the narrator in the TV series.
