Hotch Potch House


Hotch Potch House is a BBC TV show from 1996 aimed at preschool children. Hotch Potch House featured Richard Coombs as Raggs, Francis Wright (Art Attack) as Shelley and Rebecca Nagan (Rosie and Jim) as Woolie. It was directed by Vivienne Cozens. It was shot at Grip House Studios. The stated aim was to "have the puppets teach children about their emotions and feelings in a way that relates to them." One feature was an animated storytime called "The Mouse House" told by Nana. The series is no longer in production.

A recycled homemade model house, known as "Hotch Potch House", hence the name, spins round once and the camera focuses on a different bit of it which indicates something.

"Find a comfy place to sit, as quiet as a mouse, and listen to a story about a little house.
Just in the corner, down by the floor, in Hotch Potch House there's a tiny brown door.
Push the door open and step right through - inside the Mouse House there's a story for you!"

Raggs always hides behind the door and wants to find a new place to hide.
