''Breakfast Serials'' was a twenty-five minute anthology series for children that aired on BBC1 for one series in 1990. It was produced and co-written by Russell T Davies, and edited by Edward Pugh.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/445091 )〕 Other writers for the series were credited under the group name "The Salad Pig". The series comprised various shorts that were based on a variety of genres such as dialogue comedy (''Cheapo TV''), drama (''Runners'' and ''NiceChap''), stand-up comedy (''Zounds'') and narrative (''Single Tales'').〔 Each serial would be prefaced by a conversation between a Teapot, a Tin can, and a Tomato (known as The Kitchen Crew). On occasion, they would interact with the serial characters. The final disccusion of the overall episode would lead into a song performed by all three that would play over the end credits. All voices and acting roles/guises in the series were performed by Caroline Berry, John Biggins, Lucy Jenkins and William Petrie. ==Nice Chap== A stand-out of the series was ''Nice Chap'', an Adventure/Drama about a cartoon strip character that is brought to life. The serial comprised three "series", each connected in continuity, but could also be viewed as stand-alone storylines Nice Chap: "Nice Chap", a permanently positive, curious man-child who speaks in rhyme, is the creation of a depressed and lonesome female illustrator (Suzie, creator of Cozicomix). Suzie's only friends are plants, one of which is a yucca named Peter. Nice Chap is brought to life when a bolt of lightning strikes Suzie's drawing board. The two are placed in mortal danger by a rival comics company (Megacomix), managed by Joyce (nicknamed "Clench") and Norris and manned by a meglomaniacal supercomputer (It) and at least one other computer (Chuck). Clench and Norris become friends with Suzie at the end. Nice Chap 2: Six months later the Supercomputer takes control of Norris and lays siege to a television station which is known as 'Norris Vision'. Nice Chap and Suzie foil its plans and all returns to normal. Nice Chap 3: Another six months later on the anniversary of his first coming to life Nice Chap himself is turned evil when his creator, in a fit of anger, draws dark eyebrows on him. At the serial's conclusion, The renegade Nice Chap is killed by a doppelganger and his creator gives in to her despair, using a device called a Crash Machine to send herself into Nice Chap's dimension to be with a positive version of him forever. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Breakfast Serials」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
