Dizzy Heights is a BBC television series about a disastrous partnership of two managers trying to run a seaside hotel. The show was about Mr Heap (played by Alan Heap) and Mr Wall's (played by Mick Wall) many adventures and regularly featured a Spitting Image style family of puppets called the Gristles who lived, and caused chaos, in the hotel.[1] The show ran for three years, from 1990 to 1993 and was shown on BBC1 as part of Children's BBC.

The Gristle family appeared in a series of their own called The House of Gristle in 1994.
