Sly (Noddy and Friends Character Books)

Product Information

Truman needs someone to play with on a boring day. With no one to help his cause, idle Truman finds himself doing something wrong. Noah says that rudeness is like a spell of bad magic. Given the chance, Warlow reads a spell from the Goblins' book. It sends all the toys in the Noddy Shop on a tear of bad moods. A spin-off interstitial series, Say It with Noddy, aired as part of the main show in the US and as a separate program in the UK. It featured Noddy learning various foreign language words (Spanish, French, Swahili, Russian and Mandarin) from a robot named Whizz (voiced by Matt Hill in the US and Justin Fletcher in the UK).

Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: She is seen wearing a pink bow in Toyland Adventures and in the books. This isn't present in Make Way For Noddy. Characterization Marches On: In Make Way For Noddy, Master Tubby was more cheerful and friendly if still rather mischievous. In the original books and 90's series, he was a complete jerk when it comes to what he wants. Noddy (voiced by Catherine Disher) is the central character of the animated segments. During the live-action segments in Season 2, he is mostly still, but occasionally wanders around and talks to Truman and often the shop toys.

A tower that is supposed to control the weather flies away with Master Tubby Bear and Martha Monkey inside, so Mr. Sparks must find a way to save them. For the Evulz: Well, not exactly "evulz", but in Noddy's Toyland Adventures onwards, they love spoiling other people's fun and pulling mean-spirited pranks for no reason whatsoever, other than the fact that goblins love to cause mischief.

In the album Noddy's Magic Holiday, Big Ears is the narrator who tells how he and Noddy spent their vacation at Shrimpton-on-Sea. Interspecies Romance: Some adaptations are rather unsubtle about Noddy and Tessie being infatuated with each other. Bud Topper (played by Neil Crone) is Littleton Falls' second crossing guard. He is a young crossing guard who often gets into practical jokes and hilarious chases around town. He replaced Carl Spiffy, starting with the second-season episode "Little Swap of Horrors". Truman can't get to sleep one night at the Noddy Shop. He believes in all the toys, all of which are ready to perform their usual songs.

Villain Episode: They are given A Day in the Limelight at times in Make Way For Noddy, some episodes barely even featuring Noddy. Even the Dog Is Ashamed: In the Make Way For Noddy episode "Master Tubby's Chocolate Dream", when Master Tubby is eating all of the chocolates that was suppose to be given to the citizens. Bumpy Dog watches him eating while giving him a look of disgust. Adaptational Species Change: He's a squeaky toy in Noddy Toyland Detective, as opposed to flesh-and-blood like all the other series. Adaptation Personality Change: Alternates between a Shrinking Violet, a Lovable Rogue or The Napoleon depending on the interpretation. Noddy lies about eating a whole box of Googleberries while looking after Dinah Doll's stall. He convinces the entire town that a monster has eaten them all.

Adaptation Name Change: In the 70's stop-motion series, he's called "Mr. Polly" or "Monsieur Polly".She's also the focus of "Noddy and the Funny Pictures", "Bicycle Battle" and "Martha Monkey's Banana Pie" in Make Way For Noddy. Jayne Eastwood as Agatha Flugelschmidt, Noah's scatterbrained sister, who owns the hat shop next door. She is good friends with the children, who call her Aunt Agatha. She is married, but her husband is unseen.

Inspector Javert: Some episodes have Mr Plod bothering Noddy after circumstances lead him to believe he is up to mischief. Police Are Useless: Zigzagged. While Noddy is often left outsmarting the goblins, it is Plod who apprehends them. In some cases he does successfully stop them by himself, often when Noddy is their victim.The stories in The Noddy Shop mainly centered on three children, Noah's grandchildren, Kate and Truman, and a friend of Kate's named Daniel Johnson, shortened to D.J., who came to play at the shop, and were collected by their (unseen) parents at the end of the day, implying the episodes were set after school, during school holidays or weekends. Those Two Guys: Master Tubby is commonly seen with Martha Monkey in Toyland Adventures and Make Way For Noddy. Cheerful Child: More notable in the original books where he would frequently make up songs to sing out loud during times when he's very happy and upbeat. Noah considers returning to his old role as a sea captain when Wally the Wanderer arrives at the Noddy Shop.
