Much loved TV character Morph is finally returning home to the small screen.
The Aardman Animations character – who was first created in 1977 – was relaunched last year thanks to a Kickstarter campaign by fans and has been starring in new episodes on his very own YouTube channel.
But now Morph is returning to TV screens next month with a new series for CBBC.
Morph first appeared on television as part of BBC children’s art programme Take Hart alongside the now-late artist Tony Hart.
Peter Lord, Aardman co-founder and co-creator of Morph, said: “Both Morph and I are equally delighted that his latest adventures are back on the BBC. Although he’s been away for a while, I’m delighted to report that he’s as lively and full-of-fun as ever – and rather more youthful than his creators! It’s fantastic to see him back in his rightful home.”
Cheryl Taylor, controller of CBBC, said: “CBBC are delighted that Morph is back on our screens this year. His playful and curious persona has always been a delight and we know that viewers of all ages will welcome him with open arms.”
