Huxley Pig was a stop-motion animated television series from the late 1980's.

Based on the picture books by Rodney Peppe, the series was produced by FilmFair for Central TV.

General Theme

The main character, Huxley Pig, was always dreaming of adventure, exciting professions and encounters. At the start of each episode Huxley would be in his bedroom talking to Sam the squawking seagull and wondering about something. He would open his big suitcase of dress-up clothes, try something on and say, "Hmmm, I wonder". The picture would fade and be taken away into his dreams for the rest of the story.

In the dream, Sam the Seagull would be able to speak, in a Cockney accent, and there were many wonderful characters such as:

The adventures took Huxley and the gang to many places, as long as there was food nearby. Food was close to Huxley's heart.
