Charlie Chalk is a stop motion animation series produced in 1987 in the United Kingdom by Woodland Animations, from the creators of Postman Pat and the two other children's television programmes that are Gran and Bertha.
Charlie Chalk lands on Merrytwit and meets Edward, Trader Jones, Captain Mildred, Arnold and Lewis T. Duck. They all agree that the first thing Charlie must do is build a house but choosing the best location proves difficult.
Arnold the Elephant is lovable - but very, very clumsy. So it's no wonder Lewis doesn't want to take him along on the treasure hunt. But it's Arnold who ends up finding the treasure!
In the middle of the coconut harvest, Trader Jones makes a wish, and before anyone knows what's happened, Mary the Hover Fairy appears. She grants Trader's wish, and he discovers that magic may not be the best way to harvest coconuts.
Charlie unfortunately has to cancel the big expedition to find the Bye Bye Beast because he's got The Sneezes. But when Trader's cure for the dreaded disease happens to include the elusive Beast's favourite food, Charlie's luck changes.
Litterbug, in his constant quest for tidiness, picks up Mary the Hover Fairy's wand when she puts it down halfway through a spell. When the poor creature is chased by a crowd of jumping bananas, he finds out that there could be such a thing as being too tidy.
Arnold knows the mountain moans and is proved right when he, Charlie and Lewis make an expedition to it's foot. They follow the moaning sound throughout the mountain's caves and underground lakes to find Bert, a lonely monster who's been trapped inside.
Captain Mildred decides that Edward needs exercise. Everything is just fine until Edward reaches for the sky... and discovers that his arms are stuck over his head.
Charlie is helping Trader Jones beach combing when they stumble upon a cookery book. Trader decides to prepare the first Merrytwit feast, but when coconuts and bananas are the only ingredients available, the feast does not quite work out as planned.
Lewis T. Duck, who is always right, is dismayed to discover that there are no roads on Merrytwit. So he decides to build one.
Captain Mildred is becoming bored of her day to day life of living on her boat she calls a home, so she decided to take her best friend Mary the Hover Fairy with her on a short holiday.
The cave monster Bert is having a boring day, he has run out of interesting things to do in Merrytwit, but his day soon livens up when his friends plan a day full of fun.
It will soon be Litterbug's birthday; Charlie and the other inhabitants of Merrytwit cannot think of a gift to give Litterbug for his birthday, they decide to explore the island for the perfect gift.
Although Charlie is enjoying his new life on Merrytwit, he also misses the circus and his old friends back home, so Charlie decides to say goodbye to Merrytwit and his newfound friends and go back to his old life as a clown, but in the end decides to stay on Merrytwit.
