What happens

Funnybones is a British children's comedy animated television series, which originally aired on S4C in Wales, and on BBC One with BBC Two showing repeats elsewhere in the United Kingdom from 29 September to 15 December 1992. It was based on the eponymous series of nine storybooks, by Janet and Allan Ahlberg, which were illustrated by André Amstutz, and focused on the adventures of a pair of skeletons who were the eponymous Funnybones, in the book of the same name, which was released in 1980. The characters in the series are Big Funnybone (whose catchphrase was "good idea"), Little Funnybone (the brains of the group), Dog, Funnybone (whose catchphrase was "Woof") and Cat (whose catchphrase was "Meow"). Each of the show's episodes was five minutes in length. The English voices were provided by popular comedian Griff Rhys Jones, who also sang the theme song as the Moon Man whilst the original Welsh voices were provided by Ray Gravell, who also sang the theme song as the Moon Man.
