What happens

Cockleshell Bay is a stop motion children's television series which was shown at lunchtime on ITV during the early 1980s. It was made by Cosgrove Hall Productions for its parent company, the ITV broadcaster Thames Television. Other children's programmes in the same ITV time slot on the remaining four weekdays included Let's Pretend, Jamie and the Magic Torch, and Rainbow – the latter is the show in which Cockleshell Bay began as a regular story feature (reflected in the rainbow design of Cockleshell Bay's logo).
