- Synopsis
- Monkey Dust was an English satirical cartoon, notorious for its excessively dark humour and handling of taboo topics such as rape, murder, suicide and paedophilia. There were three series broadcast on BBC3 between 2003 and 2005. Following co-creator Harry Thompson's death, no further series were made.
Each episode featured animation by several different companies including Slinky Pictures, Nexus Productions, Sherbet Animation (of which Mr Bingo was a part) and Picasso Pictures, but is linked by recurring themes and jokes, and by seamless transitions between sketches. The episodes are untitled but instead are known by the characters introduced or the one-off sketches included. The principal writers and creators of the series were Harry Thompson and Shaun Pye, although other contributors were responsible for a significant proportion of the work; sometimes collaborating with Thompson and/or Pye; sometimes contributing fully-formed sketches to the show. A short overview of the main characters, called a nocturne, set in the various characters' bedrooms with no dialogue and a depressing accompanying song, usually precedes the final section.
