# I've just seen storyboards from 4 episodes
But the complete series, some unmade episodes and a few random sketches are available.

Do you think people would be interested in a site with these on?

# Are you joking??
It's a cult! There's loads of 80's kid's TV sites and they're crying out for stuff like this. You'd be a web legend.

# Probably - but beware of copyright stuff.
If I remember correctly, the character (and use of Kenneth Williams' voice) originated in a film made for British Gas (for use in schools - as will o' the wisp is methane, as in natural gas).
The animator (Nick Spargo) then developed the rest of the characters and the TV series, but there was some argument about the rights. As the cartoons are still available on video/DVD, there will be somebody still concerned with copyright issues.
Disclaimer: this is all from memory of events over 20 years ago, and I may have misunderstood it at the time.

# That is something I'll be thinking about.
The source of all these exciting things is Nick Spargo's niece, who I work with.

I'll have a chat with her.
