Product Code Database
Crapston Villas is a British adult animated animated television series, written, created and directed by Sarah Ann Kennedy, in which the characters were made from plasticine and filmed with stop motion clay animation. It was a comedy satire on inner city London life, directed at a mature audience. It featured a set of characters, living in a grim apartment building in the fictional postcode of SE69, who were plagued by various dilemmas. Foul language, sex and violence are present.
Voices were provided by a range of British actors and comedians.
The show was cancelled after its second series by the incoming new head of Channel 4 Television, Michael Jackson, who then bought US import South Park to fill the late Friday night slot vacated by Crapston Villas.
The show would be one of the first animated series on British television to present openly gay characters, specifically Robbie and Larry.
As of January 2012, all 20 episodes of Crapston Villas are available to watch on Channel 4's digital on-demand service 4oD (now called Channel 4). Reruns of the Series are also available to watch on U&Gold late at night.
