Synopsis
Chorlton and the Wheelies is an animated children’s television series that ran from September 1976 until June 1979 on British Television Channel. It followed the adventures of Chorlton, a fictional happiness dragon, in Wheelie World.
Chorlton and the Wheelies was created by Cosgrove Hall for the ITV station Thames Television, and the eponymous lead character gets his name from the suburb of Manchester in which the Cosgrove Hall studio was based: the legend “Made in Chorlton-cum-Hardy” is found written on the inside of the egg from which he hatches in the very first episode of the series.
