The show was created by British animators Terry Brain and Charlie Mills, and produced through their own companies, CMTB Animation and Queensgate Productions Ltd. Brain and Mills were also responsible for another animated show, "Stoppit and Tidyup", a few years later in the late 1980s, and "Bump the Elephant" in the 1990s. There was a stop motion movie that was in the works that was never made called "The Pudding". Together they were referred to as "Brainbox Mills". Later, Terry Brain went on to be an animator with Aardman Animations and has since worked on the six "Wallace and Gromit" films, as well as "Chicken Run" and animated television shows, "Gogs" and "Creature Comforts".
