''Mooncat'' was a puppet character who, as his name suggests, was a cat from the moon. He appeared on Children's ITV from 1981 to 1985 in the series ''Get Up and Go!'' and the follow-up ''Mooncat and Co'' produced by Yorkshire Television. Mooncat was designed, operated and voiced by David Claridge, who went on to create, voice and operate Roland Rat. ==''Get Up and Go!''== ''Get Up And Go!'' was presented by Beryl Reid and Stephen Boxer The series revolved around Mooncat learning about life on earth. Subjects covered included shapes, movement, being careful and taking turns. The format regularly included Reid and Boxer explaining an everyday subject to Mooncat and looking at a film about it on his Moon Machine through either the round, square or triangle screen, this bore a striking resemblance to the 'through the windows' feature on BBC TV's ''Play School''. Then there would be a story about Billie, a little girl who like Christopher Robin had toys that came to life - these were Woodley a dog (presumably real), Monkey, Mrs Pinkerton-Trunks an elephant and Mr Milford Haven, a lion. This was usually narrated by Reid but occasionally by Boxer who accompanied the story with dramatic piano riffs in the style of an old black-and-white movie. A song would then follow with music composed and played by Stephen Boxer on guitar before the episode was wrapped. It was unclear how the Beryl and Stephen characters had come to be living under the same roof but they lived there happily with Mooncat until the storyline had Stephen move out of the house to live and work in a playgroup. Despite this, Boxer continued as a co-presenter often talking about his work at the playgroup with an accompanying short film of this. * Series 1: 27 editions - 9 April 1981 - 24 December 1981 * Series 2: 20 editions - 25 February 1982 - 8 July 1982 * Series 3: 9 editions - 6 January 1983 - 3 March 1983 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「Mooncat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
