In the greenhouse, Greenclaws' greenhouse,
Greenclaws grows them amazing
plants.
They're surprising, mystifying,
Greenclaws grows them crazy
plants!
Greenclaws was made for CBBC in 1988, and comprised 26, 15
minute episodes. The show was aimed at the pre-school audience and was usually
shown in the lunchtime slot on BBC2.
Greenclaws was a big green monster who lived in a greenhouse. Every week, Iris would visit Greenclaws.
They would put a seed in a plant pot, put the plant pot inside a tree, wait for
Owlma (a mechanical owl) to alert them that
the plant was ready, answer three riddles/questions from Owlma (which were
always along the lines of "Twit twoo, twoo, twit twit twoo?" and then translated
into English by Greenclaws for him and Iris to solve), then open the tree to
find the plant had grown in to something bearing unusual fruit. Each episode
featured a song filmed (lip-synched) on location, most of which were written by
Hilary James and Simon Mayor. There would also be a story told
featuring ancestors of Greenclaws while the plant was growing, accompanied by
illustrations.
