We Got A Visitor! MORPH!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls please be standing for... MORPH!!!

Morph? You're kidding!
Yes that 70's classic plasticine dude came by Firebox HQ today to be photographed and boy-oh-boy were we happy to see the little fella.  Put it this way, we couldn't shut him up! "Burbba" this, "Behh Behh" that, he was quite amusing.

Didn't he burn in that fire?
Nope. Apparently he didn't burn in the recent Aardman fire, but the box he was stored in was burnt. So it is a miracle he lived to tell the tale really. It's purely coincidence that he came to FIREbox.

Wow. So how's he doing?
Morph is getting older now and doesn't make many public appearances, but he told us he still enjoys drawing (with a very big pencil) and sleeping in his wooden watercolour box.

But what about the other guy he hung around with?
What Tony?

No the angry one! Dave?!?
Chas! Well he didn't really mention him to be honest. Who knows? They might have sorted out their disagreements.

So then what happened?
Well, several pics and cold drinks later and it was time for him to make his way back home to Bristol. Needless to say we were well chuffed to meet him.

When do we get to meet him?
Soon. How about Christmas?

Morph is coming to Firebox. So stay tuned!

Listen to an interview by BBC Bristol with one of Morph's creators Peter Lord here.

FACT: Did you know that the idea of Morph came about because BBC Producers wanted something to 'jolly up' Tony Harts show.
