MORPH And CHAS BOOKENDS.
(Morph was created by Peter Lord and David Sproxton to feature in the children’s programme Take Hart alongside the artist and presenter Tony Hart. Peter and David made a very simple terracotta-coloured figure who could change shape, and because he could metamorphose they called him Morph! Morph’s first ever TV appearance was on the first episode of Take Hart which was broadcast on BBC1 on 15 Feb 1977. In the series, Morph would act as a foil to Tony, generally get into mischief and make a mess of Tony’s desk! Morph has always been hand-made out of one lump of clay. Morph stands 12cm tall and weighs 5 ½ oz. To check they always used the same amount of clay, Peter and David would weigh the clay on some old scales that they found in a junk shop in Bristol. There is an ‘M’ on the correct weight.)
