There's something uniquely British about a small plasticine man, his badly behaved plasticine friend and their collective adventures. Morph, one may recall, first emerged from Tony Hart's pencil box back in the late 1970s. He wasn't high-tech. He wasn't flash. He rarely lasted longer than a minute. But, boy, did he capture the nation's heart.

Created by some of the team who would eventually give the world Wallace and Gromit, there was very little in the way of advanced computer animation involved in his early work. Instead, painstaking frame-by-frame animation brought the little red chap to life. And now, with the help of this DIY morphing kit and free DVD, you can do exactly the same by making your own.

With all the morph-making genius you need, including full step-by-step instructions, the DVD component of this box then contains a full 15 televisual episodes in which one may watch the original Morph in all his glory.

Plasticine, of course, never ever dries out. Not even when you put it on a radiator. So your Morph can be almost infinitely toyed around with and bent to your will, especially with the help of a set of accessories for all manner of poses and morphtastic scenarios.

But how, one asked as a child, did they get Morph and Chas to look so, well, smooth? Buy this box of tricks and find out. Super.
