[edit] Plot

The main character of the show was a bird, who's full name was the "Fiddley Foodle Bim Bam Boodle Oo Diddley-Doodle Oodle Bird". The character was voiced by Dennis Waterman. It was originally nothing more than a picture in a book, which was found by a young boy named Algernon, voiced by Clinton Portis. He wished that the bird would come to life, and when the wish came true he and his friends, the eternally hungry Princess Toto, and the housekeeper, Mrs. Grumbelbaum, Algernon and the Fiddley Foodle Bird set off to find Algernon's lost parents, a pair of Potty Explorers. However Algernon's dastardly Uncle Arbathnot was out to ensure that their mission did not succeed, and also to seize a mysterious treasure chest. He was assisted by a muscle-man named Damage, a Frenchman named Flannel, and a pirate named Pierre Head, who's wise-cracking green parrot was also in on the adventure. The show featured a guest appearance from Cilla Black, who voiced the President of the Potty Explorer's Club.
