Tricky (TV series)
Encyclopedia
Tricky was a British children's animated television programme that aired in the ITV Network's children's strand CITV
on Saturday mornings from 30 August to 20 December 1997. It was the first live children's show hosted by an animated character - a talking dragon named Tricky. His co-host was a strange dragon-cat hybrid, who hatched from an egg in the third show, and was called 'Purrdy' because of a competition. Claudia Winkleman
made frequent appearances on the show, and Tricky would usually call her 'Claudia Winklebottom'. The second edition of Tricky was pre-empted by Princess Diana's funeral.
The show didn't prove to be all that popular, and only lasted for one series. But Tricky made a comeback to TV screens in 2003; he was re-named 'Rorry', though Purrdy kept her name, and hosted the kid's channel POP!.
