    It's a character from a children's TV show ages ago, called "Trapdoor"
    Don't you open that trapdoor! (there's something scary down there)
    ...if I remember correctly

    That was the best programme. Admittidly that was when I were like 5, so maybe it's appeal has since been lost. But it's not shown anymore, so who knows.

    With the big bad "I said NO". Or was that only Stoppit & Tidyup? I had a feeling they were linked.

    sorry Harry that was stopit and tidy up,

    The Avatar is called "Bert" and he is from an animated cartoon series called "Trap Door"

    Check this link for more info

    BTW you have to download the theme song for the full effect

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    Trapdoor was related very loosely to Stoppit and Tidyup.. They were created by the same person and animated in the same studio... thats the only connection...

    Well.. I really like old cartoons (and cartoons in general)..

    I really liked Stoppit and Tidy up, wasn't Terry Wogan the voice for it?

    David Jason was the voice of Dangermouse
    Terry Scott did Penfold
    I used to have to rush though my evening paper-round as fast as possible to get home in time to watch Dangermouse
