Orm and Cheep were created by Tony Martin. It was
directed by Jan Martin (click to see our interview with Jan)
and Derek Oliver. The puppets were produced by Mary
Edwards.
The voices and narration were provided by Richard Briers.
The programme was shown on ITV in the early 1980s.
Cheep was a baby bird who fell from his nest before he
learnt to fly. He is helped to recover from his ordeal by Orm
- a clever worm, who lives in a little
round
underground
house.
In each episode Orm, Cheep and their many friends
including Mole, Snail and Mouse have an adventure,
which usually involves one of their enemies - Crow,
Rat or Cat!
