Morph is an animated Plasticine stop-motion character that appeared with the late Tony Hart, beginning in 1977, on several of his UK TV programmes, notably Take Hart and Hartbeat.
Morph was produced for the BBC by Aardman Animations, later famous for Wallace and Gromit.
Morph's 30th Birthday was celebrated in 2007 by creator Peter Lord and celebrity fan and comedian Phill Jupitus at events for the Encounters Film Festival in Bristol.
Morph appeared mainly in one minute "shorts" interspersed throughout the show. These were connected to the main show by having Hart deliver a line or two to Morph who would reply in gobbledygook but with meaningful gestures. Later on, Morph was joined by cream-coloured Chas, who was much more badly behaved.
Morph and the other plasticine characters could change their morphology. Sometimes they would become spheres in order to move around, or extrude themselves into cylinders to pass to different levels. They could also mimic other objects, or creatures.
Morph lived in an artist's wooden pencil box, and he and Chas both loved to eat strawberry shortcakes, as seen in many of the shorts.

Well, i 'll tell you
one good thing at least about some
of these junkies was
they had some character
they may have driven me nuts
someties & screwed up
but at least when they played
the damn guitar they' d play it
like they meant it -
these white bread boys nowadays
knowin' all the score,
Faces have trouble smiling
When it's less than a merry affair
When you communicate through the writing on the wall
There's no love for you there
You wanted to draw a picture
But your relationship could never hold a pose
You're left with a roomful of sketches
That only hint at the love you wanted to know
Let it out, let it go
Hold back the tears no longer
Let them fall on the floor
Not on your will to be stronger
Who are you
In the face of disappointment?
Where is your character
The one who keeps you going?
The one who keeps you going
Caught you by surprise
How time changes people and places
Would you guard over your ruins like you're doing
If you knew your first kiss was your greatest?
Let it out, let it go
Hold back the tears no longer, listen
When you work too hard to get along
Maybe it's time you moved on
Who are you
When heavy weather is blowing?
Where is your character
The one who keeps you going?
Who are you
When heavy weather is blowing?
Where is your character, baby
The one who keeps you going, going?
The one who keeps you going, going
The one who keeps you going, going

Move around on my own, fall away from my own
The more that I'm getting known, the more that I feel alone,
Maybe it's my character ,they got me all alone just missing my phone
Even when I'm right I'm feeling wrong
Yeah maybe it's my character ,maybe it's my character x4
(Verse)
Ok movie, I'm literaly in a movie
I wanted to be a star Hollywood always confuse me
I notice the big shades,the lights, the jewerly
I notice the couple models ,but they ain't clearly amuse me
I'm on my first page ,I'm working I'm in the studio
Trying to get on the scene the authentic people that grew on me
But usually I'm introduced to people critiquing
This kinda new to me, but maybe it's their character
Acting like they cool with me
Mom tutored me reminding me where I used to be
Guy using me, directing me I ain't losing it
Fans viewing me couple of people they wanna shoot with me
But I'ma do it for y'all,but first I'ma do it for me
(Hook)
Move around on my own, fall away from my own
The more that I'm getting known, the more that I feel alone,
Maybe it's my character ,they got me all alone just missing my phone
Even when I'm right I'm feeling wrong
Yeah maybe it's my character ,maybe it's my character x4
(Verse)
I got a problem out in Phoenix, mom's still in Philly
Hope when people tell me they feel me they really mean it
Hard cold anemic,got a dream I seen it
I'm just hoping that I never go back Billy Jean
And I mean it, I'm in the studio working when the camera stop
And everybody else left I be the camera shop
From 10 o'clock to 10 o'clock I don't need a watch
'Cause every time I had one of those it made me sleep alot
I don't eat alot I know it's bad for my health
But being broke bad to your health I'm mad at myself
I'm tryin' to get cash for myself,bags in the front
Bags in the back of the fridge got that many shows
(Hook)
Move around on my own, fall away from my own
The more that I'm getting known, the more that I feel alone,
Maybe it's my character ,they got me all alone just missing my phone
Even when I'm right I'm feeling wrong
Yeah maybe it's my character ,maybe it's my character x4
(Verse)
Man I swear that I gotta be blessed
Couldn't afford the clothes so I gotta be fresh
Too many broke niggers rooting so I gotta be next
If I don't get a record deal at least I got their respect
I don't give a fuck about trying to impress a nigga I'm stressing nigga
Pray some thoughts in my mind tell me strechin' nigga
Hit you with the cougar medula while I wrestle niggers
Hitting with the ruger look a shit flex a nigga
South west, UBS we adressing niggers
Philly mom say even when I let them niggers
No matter where I go they gon' try test a nigga
So I gotta teach him a lesson so they don't mess with niggers
Out of hand niggers follow my shit
Somebody else say I'm hot then they jump on my dick
Dick E is walking around with a bump on their lip
But they ain't know better 'cause niggers try to tell 'em I'm sick

Move around on my own, fall away from my own
The more that I'm getting known, the more that I feel alone,
Maybe it's my character ,they got me all alone just missing my phone
Even when I'm right I'm feeling wrong
I rage this war against myself and
I'm not the only casualty no ones leaving this play alive
This play of mass tranquility curtain call and then
I walk curtain drops I stumble fall tripped by my material needs
I look out to the gawking creed silent
Whisper becomes a roar
I pick myself up off the floor
And I was forced to bow down to a crowd laughing at me
I rage this war against myself and
I'm not the only casualty take ten paces back and
Fire and see who falls first to their knees don't hunt
The man that's lost his feelings because he will die alone and
Waking waiting for someone to serve him but I'll bite the hand
That tries to feed me and I raise my hand high above the others
In the call for truth.
But invisible boy can't speak he screams awake at night
With all these feelings can they have some meaning what am
I trying to prove we raise our hands for the fight the
Fight in which we'll lose this blind man won't lead the
Blind because this blind man knows no more than you we pray
For change but I can't pray a heart worth none in this
Senseless age a fortress lost in one short toss ashes to
Ashes we all fall what a surprise when you look in my eyes
Did you expect something more from me this grand disguise
Look in my eyes is it not what a mans suppose to be look in
My eyes disguise teach a boy just what to be look in my eyes
Disguise you prayers took this freedom locked from me is this
