Funnybones
Funnybones was a Welsh children's television series that was first aired in Welsh on S4C and in English on the BBC in 1992. It was based on the eponymous series of books by Janet and Allan Ahlberg which were illustrated by Andre Amstutz and focused on the adventures of a family of skeletons, sometimes known as the Funnybones. There was Big Funnybone, Little Funnybone, and Dog Funnybone. Each episode was 5 minutes in length. The voices were provided by popular comedian Griff Rhys Jones who also plays Moon Man, who serves as the narrator in the TV series.
