Stop motion clay animation sitcom observing the antics of the inhabitants of the much sought-after residential property Crapston Villas. Sam, his kid sister who’s always pranking people in ways that the police and social services would need to know about. It ran for a total of three seasons before being cancelled to make way for South Park in the scheduling.All three seasons are available to stream on All4 as well so even better, you can watch them for free. A black-comedy satire based in London suburbs: an extreme and lowlife group of characters, living in a grim apartment building in the fictional postcode of SE69, who were plagued by various .

It was written by Sarah Ann Kennedy, who was also director (series 1) along with Peter Boyd Maclean (series 2). Crapston Villas was a British animated television series, in which the characters were made from plasticine and filmed with stop motion clay animation.

You had Jane Horrocks, Morwenna Banks, Felix Dexter, Alistair MacGowan, John Thomson, and Alison Steadman among others. We’ve re-watched all three seasons recently and they really are still hilariously vulgar in the best way.We’re not going to lie, it has dated badly, that said it’s definitely still fun and if you have no issues with sex, violence, drugs and social commentary then we say go for it. The show often came very close to the bone with regards to its social commentary but it was always done in a way that was funny. Crapston Villas was home to a whole host of characters, most of whom were highly offensive to the stereotypical groups they represented. In the USA five episodes from Series 1 were released on DVD by the independent production/distribution company Troma Entertainment, but so far no DVD releases of either series have occurred in the UK. The characters on the screen are vile and the stuff coming out of their mouths is pretty gross for the time.
