Roobarb is a British animated children's television programme, originally shown on BBC1 just before the evening news. Each cartoon, written by Grange Calveley and animated by Bob Godfrey, was about five minutes long. Thirty episodes were made, and the show was first shown on 21 October 1974. The theme is that of the friendly rivalry between Roobarb the green dog and Custard the pink cat from next door.
The narration of the series was provided by the actor Richard Briers. On 17 February 2013, Briers died, followed three days later by animator Godfrey.
Roobarb is a green dog, and Custard is a pink cat. Roobarb is always involved in some kind of misadventure which he approaches with unbounded enthusiasm. Custard is cynical and sets out to sabotage Roobarb's fun. Which one comes out on top varies from episode to episode. Other characters in the series are the birds, who watch the antics of the other two from the safety of a nearby tree, often making snide remarks, and siding with whoever is winning. There is also a rather timid, pink mouse.
Walking out on another day
In control take me anyway
I want to find out
All alone at another door
Got a taste but I wanted more
I want to find out
I wouldn't lie now
I want to find out
I'm older but I can't believe this soul
Waiting like a child
I'm calling can you tell me how to go
Waiting to be told
Want a taste of another land
Give my life fore a second chance
I want to find out
Give myself to another king
What does your independence bring
I want to find out
I wouldn't lie now
I want to find out
I'm older but I can't believe this soul
Waiting like a child
I'm calling can you tell me how to go
Waiting to be told
Jesus are you waiting for me
Time to make my move
Calling out
I'm older now
