in 1984
. The plot revolves around both the daily lives and the misadventures of a group of monster
s living in a castle
. Although the emphasis was on humour and the show was marketed as a children's programme but also for famliy entertainment, the show drew much from the genres of horror
and dark fantasy
. The show has since become a cult favourite
and remains one of the most widely recognised kids' shows of the 1980s. Digital childrens channel, POP, started re-running the show in 2010.
s Terry Brain and Charlie Mills, and produced through their own companies, CMTB Animation and Queensgate Productions Ltd. Brain and Mills were also responsible for another animated show, Stoppit and Tidyup

.
A total of 25 episodes of The Trap Door were made in 1984, with each episode with a running time of around four minutes. Two years later in 1986, when the show had proved successful, a second series was produced and aired with a further 15 episodes of similar running time. There were a total of 40 episodes of the show produced and, despite the show's success, no more episodes were made.
All the character voices were provided by Willie Rushton
, an English cartoonist, satirist, comedian, actor and performer who co-founded Private Eye
, the satirical magazine. He died a decade after the show was halted. Rushton had made the show his own and, even after his death, he still has no replacement voice-actor for a possible new series.
The recognizable theme song of the show was written by Scottish

The main theme song would start after this:
or cellar
where Berk, the castle servant and central character of the show, resides. Beneath the castle are a series of dark and mysterious caverns inhabited by all manner of "horrible things", accessible by the eponymous trap door in the bowels of the castle.
The master of the castle, "The Thing Upstairs", resides in the attic
of the castle and is never actually seen, remaining an unseen character
throughout the entire show, only shouting down orders to Berk. This happens when it is hungry and wants dinner or supper, or when it wants something attending to, such as shelves putting up or the giant venus fly traps in the castle garden feeding. Berk has two companions, Boni and Drutt, and occasionally the eponymous trap door is opened by Berk to retrieve something from the caverns below and another monster will escape and cause havoc. In most episodes, Berk, who is quite docile, will accidentally leave the trap door open for something more nasty to escape later on. Though mostly hostile or mischievous, occasionally a helpful or friendly creature does emerge. One such monster, Rogg, becomes friends with Berk and frequently returns to visit.
accent, Berk is the protagonist
of the show, and steward or caretaker of the monsters' castle. Loyal and versatile, he is servant of "The Thing Upstairs", an unseen character
. Berk often goes about his duties with simple-minded glee, and enjoys cooking exotic things in his kitchen, with ingredients such as mud, eyeballs, snakes and worms. Berk is often warned not to open the trap door by his friends and is strictly forbidden from doing so by his master, although in most episodes Berk does so. His usual exclamations include "Oh, Globbits!" and "Sniff that!" He also enjoys hitting other monsters over the head with blunt objects which he refers to as "bonking"

, and Berk's only real friend. He hates to be moved from his favourite spot, an alcove in the wall near the trap door and spends most of his time moaning, being paranoid, or unsuccessfully trying to warn Berk about trap door monsters. Boni often tries to remind Berk to close the trap door before something nasty come out. It is left untold why Boni is just a skull and has no body.

. Drutt is hyperactive and makes bizarre noises resembling flatulence
. Drutt often causes trouble when chasing after worms and other creepy-crawlies, sometimes going down into the caverns in search of them.
. He always has a job for Berk, which he orders in a booming voice, usually involving fixing something or preparing meals.
Only hints are given as to what "The Thing Upstairs" looks like. In the 14th episode of series one, "The Little Thing", Berk enters his room and a lightning flash illuminates a mass of spongy tentacles, although this is only seen for a small second it gives some idea to what the Thing Upstairs looks like. but it is questionable if this was even the Thing Upstairs at all. In the 13th episode "The Pain", Berk asks which head "The Thing Upstairs"'s toothache is in implying that he has more than one head. The tooth itself is a fang and about two-thirds the size of Berk. In a later episode ("Not Very Nice"), Berk loses one of "The Thing Upstairs"'s eyeballs down the trapdoor, demonstrating that his eyes are removable; Berk later recovers it. The master said he saw everything that happened despite the eye being detached from his body. The master's eye is almost as big as Berk implying that the master is indeed massive. In the episode "The Stupid Thing" it is mentioned he has three humps on his back. Later it is revealed that the master can fly, though this is never shown the sound of wings can be heard flapping.
, in the afternoon children's programming line-up. The show was aired again in the 1990s when it was broadcast by Channel 4
during early weekday mornings. It was repeated in 2005 on Trouble and 2009 on POP in the UK. In Australia, both series of The Trap Door were broadcast on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Trap door monsters
Many different monsters emerge ranging from annoying to dangerous, and of all different shapes, sizes, colours, and powers. They are often referred as "horrible things". Some of the repeat appearances include:Rogg
Rogg is a large pink-skinned creature. His first appearance is in the fourth episode of the first series, "Lurkings". Rogg returns often after that. Not very intelligent, he likes Berk and often helps him out. They eventually become friends.The Splund
A big round horrific sounding monster which Berk pops with a giant needle. It has a rather posh voice and has a scary laugh. It has the ability to disappear and reappear wherever it wants. Its voice was edited with a Hamonizer.Bubo
A mischievous small yellow creature who is initially invisible until covered in yellow "scunge", a messy gourmet dinner. Bubo occasionally returns in further episodes, still covered in yellow scunge and therefore visible, and causes Berk further annoyance.Big Angry Red Thing
This large red-skinned monster makes its first appearance in the first episode, when it escapes from the caverns below the trap door and into the castle. In the last episode it makes a reappearance, with Rogg apparently sacrifing himself to save Berk, Boni and Drutt. Its worst fear is a mirror.Broadcast history
