Red Door in early 80s

[Bottom]

Does anyone remember that kids programe, It was filmed in a house with a Big red door, they use to show a cartoon called "Dont you open that trap door". It also had that neil bloke from art a tak or something like that on it? I can't remeber the name of it?

[Hebejebe]

Yes I used to love it!  The prgramme was called Number 73 (Tommy Boyd was one of the presenters) and the animation was called "Trapdoor"

Was it called Our House?

They had a sofa that was a pair of lips, and the cartoon was "Don't you open that trap door ....... cos there's something down there". same sort of thing as 'Stop it and Tidyup' I think.

I think Sandi Toksvig was also a presenter on No 73.

[clarabel82]

the big red lips were off a different programme called motormouth

[tonymclark]

I think Gaby Roslin co-presented Number 73.

A new series of The Trap Door is soon to be made.

The original series was by the same people who made Stoppit and Tidyup, GBTM ( G. Box and Terry Mills ).

Gabby Roslin? Nah.  She co-presented MotorMouth.

Wasn't Neil Buchanan on Number 73? Obviously in the days before Art Attack!

Yes, it was called No 73.  Sandy Toksvig,  Neil Buchannan and another guy who looked a bit like Pat Sharp ie; had a long haired mullet, presented it.  The cartoon/animation was called Trap Door
