rdf:langString Rocky Hollow was a stop motion animation children's television series made in Wales and produced by Rockscene Ltd in 1983. The show was narrated by Peter Sallis, who later became the voice of Wallace in Wallace and Gromit. This was the first children's television show to be produced by Bumper Films for S4C. The firm later made Fireman Sam, Joshua Jones & Starhill Ponies for the BBC. These were in production with S4C, Mike Young Productions and Prism Art and Design Ltd. Rocky Hollow first appeared as Deri Deg in Welsh on S4C in 1985. The Welsh series finished in 1986, and later in English throughout the United Kingdom on The Children's Channel during the same year and ITV in 1989 as part of It's Stardust! (a wrapper programme for children hosted by rock singer Alvin Stardust). The English version finished in 1986, same as the Welsh version. The Welsh version was frequently repeated until 1998. It was also screened in Ireland first on RTÉ One in 1991 before the US animated series DuckTales and then on RTÉ2 in 1992 as part of The Saturday Club along with the British cult marionette series from the 1960s Thunderbirds and the Irish puppet series The Rimini Riddle and in New Zealand on TVNZ 1. Most of the episodes were released on various VHS videos in the late 80s and early 90s, but the program has never been officially released on DVD.
