Titch is a British stop-motion children's television programme that originally aired on Children's ITV from 1997 to 2001, then from 2001 to 1 January 2006 on Tiny Living, before appearing on Milkshake! in September 2004 as Tiny Living went off-air. It was created by Pat Hutchins, also the creator of the Titch book series.
Production
According to Pat Hutchins, each episode took three weeks to shoot as it was created in stop-motion animation, using clay models instead of proposed cartoons. The models were miniatures, as ITV gave the animating team a limited budget so that production or scale was minimalistic. After the first two series finished airing in 1999, a third series went into production, and premiered during 2000, before it had its final episode in mid-2001. There is no disclosed reason why the programme finished but Hutchins reportedly said it became too costly and time-consuming to create. Due to its immense popularity repeats of the programme aired occasionally until around 2003 and then repeated on Tiny Living. The programme moved to Milkshake! on Channel 5 between 5 September 2005 and 15 January 2006 with updated titles credited to 2005.
Music and DVD
The music for Titch was composed by British pianist & composer Michael Nyman. The theme song was originally sung by Nicholas Battye, before it was re-recorded with a new vocalist for 2005 repeats.
The series was issued on several videos in the 1990s. DVDs were released in 2005, titled Picnic and Other Stories and Christmas.
