Remember SuperTed? We bet you do, and we bet you absolutely loved him! Please whisper your secret magic word and join us on a magical adventure, as we present the following ‘14 Magical Facts About SuperTed’. 1. He Came From Humble Beginnings. SuperTed was created in 1978 by Mike Young. Rather than being a money making venture, Mike made up the story to help his son overcome his fear of the dark, as SuperTed was originally also afraid of the dark until he got given his super powers. 2. He Was Originally A Series Of Books. Mike Young went on to publish over 100 SuperTed books. Do you remember owning one? 3. He’s Fundamentally Welsh… Like Fireman Sam, SuperTed is born and bred in Wales. In its original run in 1982 the show was in the Welsh language, and it was translated into English when it aired on BBC1 the following year. 4…But He Could Have Become American. In 1980, Warner Brothers offered Mike Young a quarter of a million pounds for the SuperTed film rights, but Mike refused, saying that he wanted to keep the series Welsh, creating local jobs. To this end he created his own production studio and produced the series himself. 5. He’s Child Friendly Through And Through. Mike Young wanted to keep SuperTed child friendly and free from violence, his aim being to prove that ‘soft edge and quality animation can be more appealing to children than any amount of violence’. 6. The Show Had A Magical Premise. SuperTed was about a teddy bear created at a toy factory who was found to have something wrong with him. After being thrown away into ‘an old dark storeroom’, he was rescued by Spotty (from the Planet Spot), who brought the bear to life and took him to Mother Nature. She kindly gave him his special powers which transformed him into SuperTed! Who can forget SuperTed pulling off his teddy bear suit to reveal his superhero costume underneath? 7. It Has An Intro That You’ve Likely Never Forgotten. “This is a story about an ordinary teddy bear… When he was made, they found something wrong with him… And threw him away like a piece of rubbish into an old dark storeroom… Then, from outer space, a spotty man brought him to life with his cosmic dust! He took him to a magic cloud where Mother Nature gave him special powers… That bear became SUPERTED!” 8. He Had The Greatest Sidekick You Could Ever Wish For. As mentioned above, the Cosmic Dust owning Spotty (AKA Spotty Man, voiced by Jon Pertwee), is the one who came to SuperTed’s aid after he had been thrown away like a piece of rubbish. He also then proved to be the best sidekick SuperTed could ever wish for, accompanying him on all of his adventures. Let’s be honest, without Spotty Man there would be no SuperTed! 9. It Had Fantastic Bad Guys… During SuperTed and Spotty’s travels they would often find themselves coming up against the nasty cowboy Texas Peter, along with his two henchmen, Bulk and Skeleton. Skeleton especially was good for a bit of comedy, being the weak and scared opposite of the macho (but dumb) Bulk. 10…And Texas Pete Was Friends With The Beatles. Victor Spinetti, the person who voiced Texas Pete, had formed a friendship with The Beatles after featuring in three of their films. 11. We Never Found Out His Magic Word. Whenever trouble came calling, SuperTed was able to whisper his secret magic word and transform himself into the SuperTed we know, adorning himself with a red suit, cape and rocket boots. We never found out what SuperTed’s magic word was, although his nemesis Texas Peter tried to find out a few times. 12. It Was The First British Cartoon To Air On The Disney Channel… SuperTed aired in over 50 countries, including Africa, Sweden and Australia, and it was the first show created in Britain to air on The Disney Channel in America. Superted (1982-1989) SuperTed is a Welsh animated television series about a teddy bear with magical super powers. It first aired on 1 November 1982. It was produced by Siriol Animation for Welsh television channel S4C where it was aired in the Welsh language, and later aired dubbed in English throughout the whole of the United Kingdom on BBC1, and dubbed into Irish for RTE. The series won numerous awards, including the 1987 BAFTA for best animation. SuperTed is the creation of Mike Young Producer, Dave Edwards Director, and Robin Lyons Writer/Producer. Young created SuperTed in stories he told his stepson, before writing over 100 SuperTed books. S4C then approached him about a SuperTed animated series. Superted was also turned into a stage show. Melvyn Hayes reprised his role but other parts were taken by other actors. Every episode starts with the tale of how SuperTed came to life: He was a teddy bear found to be defective in the toy factory where he was made, and "threw him away like a piece of rubbish! Into an old dark storeroom." A Spotty man found him there and brought him to life with his "cosmic dust". He was later taken to Mother Nature and given magical powers that enabled him to fight evil. This evil invariably takes the form of Texas Pete (an evil cowboy, the antagonist of the series) and his gang; Bulk (an overweight, bumbling fool) and Skeleton (an undead, outrageously camp, cowardly skeleton with pink slippers). Texas Pete's plots are generally aimed at advancing his own wealth, ruling the world and the power or the destruction of SuperTed, his nemesis. SuperTed's powers are activated by his "secret magic word", which (as the name suggests) remains a secret. SuperTed whispers it every time he or someone else is in peril and he transforms into a Superman-like red suit with rockets built in to the boots. These allow him to fly. In one episode, Bulk overhears the secret magic word and also whispers it, briefly acquiring identical powers to SuperTed. However, he subsequently forgets the word. The episodes take place all over the world (but quite often in Wales) and even in space (SuperTed is the owner of his own space station). He also has a tree house in an unspecified wood. In 1984, SuperTed became the first British cartoon series to be aired on The Disney Channel in the United States. Walt Disney Home Video subsequently released all 36 episodes on six videocassettes. In 1989, SuperTed was revived in America by Hanna Barbera (who also made Fantastic Max, another Mike Young creation), this time named The Further Adventures of SuperTed. Only Victor Spinetti and Melvyn Hayes returned from the original cast to voice Texas Pete and Skeleton, but the UK Version of the series did feature Derek Griffiths as SuperTed (in the original 1982 version of the SuperTed series) and Jon Pertwee as Spottyman (in the original 1982 SuperTed series) whilst the original US broadcasts featured Danny Cooksey as SuperTed and Pat Fraley as Spottyman. The new series takes on a more epic format, often splitting its episodes into two parts. Texas Pete, Bulk, and Skeleton are joined also by new villains, and the theme song was replaced with a more dramatic overture. This SuperTed series did not last beyond one season. When the original season of SuperTed had phased out, Fantastic Max took over from it and the rhyming garbage man Dumping Jack Trash was the replacement character for Texas Pete. Series 1 (1982) 1.
