The Organ Gang was a spoof animated children's series from This Morning With Richard Not Judy, drawn by Champniss and narrated by Brian Cant, based on the primitive animated cartoons that were produced in the 1960s and 1970s (e.g. Munch Bunch, The Garden Gang). The characters were all organs of the body and each episode they would have an adventure. |
