Crapston Villas

[remember]

You either thought this show was absolutely hilarious or totally crude. Made by those behind the equally controversial Spitting Images, Crapston Villas was an animated series for adults broadcast at late night on channel 4 between 1995 and 1997. It featured all kinds of foul-mouthed everyday weirdos as its characters, living in squalid conditions, which was meant to go some way to representing inner-city London life. They all lived together in a apartment block in the fictional postcode of SE69.The show was written by Sarah Ann Kennedy, and featured the vocal talents of some of Britain's best known actors and comedians, including Morwenna Banks, Alistair McGowan, John Thomson, Alison Steadman and Felix Dexter. The show's characters were created out of plasticine and filmed by stop motion clay animation, much like those other retro favourites Wallace and Gromit.Crapston Villas was subsequently canned to make a slot for South Park on channel 4.

I remember watching this a few times. Jane Horrocks voiced one of the characters.

HAHA, I watched this on Channel 4 as a kid and absolutely loved it! It was incredibly disgusting in places but it gave me a chuckle. Although I don't remember it lasting too long I mention it to people today and straight away they remember it! Interesting to see who some of the voice actors were, reading that list really makes me appreciate the talent this show boasted.
