Tales from Fat Tulip's Garden

Tales from Fat Tulip's Garden was a British children's TV programme in the mid-1980s, starring Tony Robinson.

It was produced by Debbie Gates for Central Independent Television and was broadcast on the ITV network from 1985 to 1987, in a 4:00pm timeslot, with each episode lasting about 10 minutes.

Other characters included Lewis Collins the Tortoise, Fred the Baddy, Gilbert Harding Sheep, Bunting Tadpole, Anwar and Amita Rabbit, Tracey Bee, a cockle called Jim Morrison, and the Terrible Stinkers - Peter, Paul and Mary.

Robinson hoped to provoke the imagination and to produce a sense of immediacy in contrast to the shortcomings he saw in children's television at the time.
