Who wrote the children's cartoon 'The Ratties'?

[silentC]

You have to answer the question before you get to have a go HH

But I'll have a stab. It's probably not John. Is it Ahmed?

[craigb]

This is getting confusing. :confused:

Can we just have one question going at a time please.

[HappyHammer]

Thanks for explaining.

Never heard of the Ratties, if it's anything to do with Wind In The Willows.... Kenneth Graham?

Ahmed? Close but not quite.

[silentC]

It would have to be Mohammed then.

The Ratties was a British cartoon for kids. It was written by someone's daughter. If you give me the someone it'll be good enough...

[craigb]

I'd need a hint to even have a stab

[silentC]

Her father (now passed away) was a famous British comedian - arguably one of the most famous worldwide. Although not noted for his singing voice, he sang the signature tune for his daughter's cartoon. Perhaps another of his closest colleagues, also now gone, will be more remembered for his singing voice.

[craigb]

Well that's a pretty good hint.
So it must be Peter Sellers (sp?)

[silentC]

I've heard Peter Sellers had quite a good singing voice. Very, very close though....

"I talk to the trees, that's why they put me away...."

[craigb]

Well it could only be Spike then

[silentC]

That's the one, or more precisely his daughter Laura.

They're the rat-rat-ratties,
The rat-rat-rat-rat-ratties.
There's one called Tatty,
And Auntie Hat-hat-hatty.
There's two called Fatty,
And Uncle Mat-mat-matty.

Frightening really. That I can remember it I mean

[craigb]

What is a snood ?

[jackiew]

a type of headcovering?

[HappyHammer]

A fishing knot.

Quite right SilentC it's Mohammed.

[Christopha]

headcovering or a short piece of fishing line attaching ones hook....
