Hotch Potch House

Hotch Potch House is a BBC TV show from 1996 aimed at preschool children. Hotch Potch House featured Richard Coombs as Raggs, Francis Wright as Shelley (Art Attack) and Rebecca Nagan as Woolie (Rosie and Jim). It was directed by Vivienne Cozens. It was shot at Grip House Studios. The stated aim was to "have the puppets teach children about their emotions and feelings in a way that relates to them." One feature was an animated storytime called "The Mouse House" told by Nana. The series is no longer in production.

A recycled homemade model house, known as "Hotch Potch House", hence the name, spins round once and the camera zooms in at a different bit of it which indicates something.

Mice's Voices

Nana's Introduction
"Find a comfy place to sit as quiet as a mouse
And listen to a story about a little house
Just in the corner down by the floor
In Hotch Potch House there's a tiny brown door
Push the door open and step right through
Inside the Mouse House there's a story for you."
