Morph (TV series)
- for other uses, see morph.
Morph is an animated Plasticine stop-motion character who appeared with Tony Hart starting from 1977 on several of his UK TV programmes, notably Take Hart and Hart Beat. Morph was produced for the BBC by Aardman Animations, famous for Wallace and Gromit.
Morph appeared mainly in one minute "shorts" interspersed throughout the show. These were connected to the main show by having Hart deliver a line or two to Morph who would reply in gobbledygook but with meaningful gestures. Later on, Morph was joined by cream-coloured Chas, who was much more badly behaved.
Morph lived in an artist's wooden pencil box.
Some of the early plasticine models of Morph were destroyed in a fire at the warehouse they were being stored at on 10 October 2005.
