Join Superted and Spotty as they try to thwart the dastardly plans of Texas Pete in this classic 80's childrens series.
Classic 80s cartoon which serves as an allegory for our struggle and inevitable victory over fascism. An ordinary teddy bear on a factory production line: "...when he was made, they found something wrong with him; and threw him away like a piece of rubbish", destined to be another nameless victim of the global elite's deranged plan of eradicating perceived imperfections. Thankfully, and not a moment too soon, teddy's saved by a Spotty Man (voiced by erstwhile 'Dr. Who' Jon Pertwee) from outer space. Spotty, clearly a non-practising homosexual in the Larry Grayson style, brings teddy to life with cosmic dust and whisks him away to a magical cloud where Mother Nature; who appears to be a dealer or chemist of some sort, gives him magical powers (administered orally) and imparts knowledge of a secret magic word (cleverly, we're never told what it is) which turns him into Superted (voiced by the legendary Derek Griffiths). Villains come in the form of George W. Bush-esque, gun totting faux cowboy Texas Pete, Skeleton; comedic gay henchman voiced by British sitcom star Melvyn Hayes and Bulk; thuggish, bumbling badguy with a weight problem. Made in Wales and dubbed into English, 'Superted' was one of my favourites and I rarely missed an episode, though unlike 'Ulysses 31', 'Thundercats' or 'Mysterious Cities of Gold' which stood the test of time in terms of cross generational appeal. 'Superted', though a phenomenal concept, brilliantly realised and bought to life in bright, vibrant colours, is perhaps best suited to a younger audience, that said; those on a retro kick are bound to enjoy reliving this cosmic teddy's far out, sometimes surreal, sometimes downright disturbing adventures. Believe it or not; but they're episodes where Superted is shot down by a harpoon grenade, run over by a cattle truck and almost has a nervous breakdown in the midst of a Kafka-esque identity crisis; cruelly subjected the kind of psycho-physical degeneration that'd give William S. Burroughs the creeps! Top show, top teddy: Its Superted, isn"t it dye!
