Lynch more than any planning by Cosgrove Hall. Development Plots are extremely simple, mainly revolve around Fenella's schemes to make the wheelies unhappy and Chorlton's accidental rectification of everything that goes wrong. Around these events, the characters' simple and exaggerated personalities are on show. The idea of 'wheelies' came about after the difficulties of moving many different characters using stop-frame animation. Characters on wheels were easier to manipulate than those with legs that needed fractionally moving many times for each second of filming. Similarly, choosing teleportation as Fenella's principal means of transportation means that usually Chorlton is the only character whose walking needs to be animated. The show was sold to numerous countries around the (non-Wheelie) world. However Israel declined to purchase it as a graphic artist mistakenly drew a Star of David instead of a Pentagram on the front of the German-accented spellbook, causing accusations of antisemitism towards the programme's creators. Characters The characters include, amongst others: Chorlton the Happiness Dragon - where he goes, happiness follows. His catchphrase is "Bye bye, little old lady!" at the end of every episode. Fenella Fellorick, the Kettle Witch - who does not like anyone to enjoy themselves. Zoomer - a wheelie boy, notable for his speed of locomotion. Jenny - a wheelie girl with blonde hair who fancies Chorlton. King Otto and Queen Doris - The monarchy of Wheelieworld. The Minister of wheel estate - the political wheelie, who bears a striking resemblance to Harold Wilson, who had recently been Prime Minister of the UK. His real name is revealed to be Arthur in season 3. Claptrap von Spilldebeans - A German spellbook who often speaks in rhyme and comes up with Fenella's schemes. O'Reilly the one eyed telescope - An Irish telescope that Fenella stole from the end of Dún Laoghaire East pier. Clifford - Fenella's giant son & Queenie's giant nephew, who is so tall the only part of him that ever is in shot is his leg. Pablo Perdito - A world famous Latin American dancing duck. Floyd - The only toady to have pink spots rather than green (first called by name in the series two episode "Toady Trouble" - possible hidden reference to the band Pink Floyd). Queenie Fellorick the Pink Suit - Fenella's sister, but who does not like anyone to enjoy themselves. Joe Lynch narrated the show as well as providing all the voices
