Ghoul Lashed

Updated January 18, 2004.

SYNOPSIS When Attracta Ghoul made her first husband, Crud (Sylvester McCoy), he was hideous to look at. So she made him her Butler, instead. However, as you can tell from the wavs below, Crud is still very much in love with Attracta. Her second husband, Ivor, is dumb as a brick. And her two children, Boris and Karla, are just as Ghoulish as the rest of the family.

Ghoul Lashed was a wrap-around kids' TV series in the UK. Several shows, like The X-Men, Spiderman, and others aired between scenes with Attracta, Crud, and the rest of the Ghoul family. Then they had their own episode somewhere in the line up, Ghoulish Tales, which usually had nothing to do with the outlying story.

REVIEW McCoy hammed it up (as did the rest of the cast) as the decaying Butler. The show was silly, full of in-jokes (including the occasional Doctor Who joke), and definitely for kids. I only wish something as goofy as this series had been on American TV when I was a kid.

PRODUCTION INFO Produced by Sky TV in 1995.

SOUNDS The wavs that I have from this series were made by friends of mine. As with all my wavs, I have compressed and uncompressed versions. Special thanks go to Random C and Suki F for making the wavs in the first place.

"I wanted to amuse you. To bring a smile to those flawless lips, a twinkle to those deep, beautiful eyes that have delighted me more than anything else in the world. Oh, if I could do that just once, just once! Then my life would have been worthwhile."

Ivor: "You're a brick!"
Crud: "No, I'm the Butler, sir."
Ivor: "Then what's a brick?"
Crud: "Your brain, probably, sir."

"Oh! Thank you madam, thank you, thank you! You do not know what comfort you give to an old, old man."

"Crumbs!"

[Whitney Houston singing] "Stop it! Stop it! I'm sorry about this." [Crud banging doorbell and it stops.] "Ha ha! That is better."

"Fudge fingers! My favorites!"

[When told to put the axe anywhere.] "Anywhere? Are you sure, madam?"

"But why so formal? My heart still beats, and it beats for you!"

"This is the high point of my butle-ing career!"
