- Far Away from Land Of Dreams, The main character of the series was Bimble, a young male anthropomorphic creature (a fox rabbit hybrid creature of whom some fans dub his species as 'foxbits' unofficially, though Mike Jupp had given them an official name called 'Squonks', it was never mentioned on the show) who, after rescuing a man from sinking in a swamp by pulling a bucket from his head, was given the very bucket he pulled off as a reward for rescuing the man. Soon Bimble is introduced to Teeny Weeny, a small green female character (who has leaves and an acorn on her head) and the guardian of the bucket. He also found out the bucket would grant wishes if he needed any particular item, but the effects would only last for 24 hours). The bucket is damaged in the first episode of the series when it is attacked by slingshots. A witch called Dolly Clackhanger would try to steal the bucket from Bimble, many times, for her queen, Kak. She usually sent her gang to steal it. They consist of two Sleazians from Sleaze City who look like punk rockers called Bilge and Oiler, who usually go around on motorised LOGO sticks. They were the ones who dented the bucket to begin with. Dolly also has an odd-looking blue creature with green hair called Sploot, who is usually Dolly's guinea pig for her magical experiments. Queen Kak is also assisted by her tax collector Mudge, another Sleazian wearing a pork pie hat. He would rather perform scientific experiments instead of collecting taxes for the queen, and he dislikes Dolly and her magic.
