It's taken a while, but Hi-Fi, Back-To-Front, Sad
Sack, Princess, Claude,
Lucy and Dotty have at last managed to climb out
of their old Reject Bin
and on to DVD.
Revelation
Films released Raggy Dolls: Series One on 21st June, which
means we can now watch 13 episodes of Melvyn Jacobson's
ever-popular
80's toon series back to back, front to front, or
back to front, as the mood
takes us. And we can sing along with that ridiculously
hummable theme
song from Neil Innes... |

Made
imperfectly
The erstwhile Raggy
Dolls are a group of toy dolls manufactured incorrectly
at Mr Grimes soft toy factory. One by one, they
find their way into the factory
reject bin. But there's absoloutely nothing wrong
with being different, and
Hi-Fi,
Back-To-Front, Sad Sack, Princess, Claude, Lucy and Dotty are
soon having all sorts of jolly adventures
and fruitful encounters together.
In fact, they had 112 adventures together between 1986
and 1994. And now
Revelation
Films want to re-introduce us to the first of them...
The
Raggy Dolls: Series One

"The Raggy Dolls have perennial appeal.
It's okay to be different, we're told,
everyone can be lasting friends regardless
of their apparent shortcomings.
The dolls' bond is so strong, in the episode
"The Special Offer"
they
work fearlessly to prevent their separation
in a cut-price toy sale. And
that gets The Hound thinking, were
Buzz and Woody and their Toy Story
pals skulking in the very same Reject
Bin, all those years ago...?"
