Chorlton and the Wheelies
Chorlton and the Wheelies is an animated children's television series that ran from September 1976 until June 1979 on the British television channel ITV. It followed the adventures of Chorlton, a fictional happiness dragon, in Wheelie World.
"Chorlton and the Wheelies" was created by Cosgrove Hall Films for Thames Television and broadcast on the ITV network. 
The eponymous lead character gets his name from the suburb of Manchester in which the Cosgrove Hall studio was based: the legend "Made in Chorlton-cum
Wheelies", "Danger Mouse" and "Count Duckula" were created. The area is used by film crews for TV locations, such as "The Second Coming", as it retains much of its original Victorian architecture. "White Van Man" used several Chorlton locations and was shown on BBC3 Television in 2010.
