Misplaced Pages

On the Waterfront is a British children's television series that aired on BBC1 from 23 April 1988 to 8 July 1989. The programme aired on Saturday mornings and was filmed at Brunswick Dock, Liverpool. It consisted of comedy sketches interspersed with cartoons, competitions and music.

The writer Russell T Davies, later a BAFTA Award-winner for his work on programmes such as Queer as Folk and Doctor Who, worked on the series, writing the script for a comedy dubbed version of the French children's drama series The Flashing Blade.

The series is notable in giving the human and puppet double-act Bodger and Badger their first TV exposure.
