The Treacle People

The once-great treacle mines of Sabden are running dry and things look bleak for Professor Baines-Pilling, inventor of the world's first treacle-powered engine and all the others who depend on the sticky stuff for a living. Armed with nothing but a simple treacle-divining stick, can local youngsters Rosie and Wizzle save the village, or will the Treacle People come to a sticky end?

Having discovered treacle in the mines, our sticky heroes also discover that they can't get out. However, thanks to the Professor, two old mine-carts and a sack full of bubbles, all is not lost...

Uncle Silas discovers that Rosie and Wizzle are better employed being unemployed, when they go in search of a job for the school holidays. The great treacle mines of Sabden roar into life, then all but roar out with a boggart in the works.

The Prof builds a balloon to map out a treacle-exporting route, with Bert the Boggart in the pilot's seat.

In this glutinous instalment, the villagers are still searching for a treacle exporting route, and with the help of Tapper's new creation, set about digging their way to success.

Wizzle has a plan to jazz up the village fête, but there's trouble brewing, as Lil finds herself with a new rival. Can the villagers make it through this year's festivities unscathed?

In this latest adhesive adventure, the heavens have opened and it's raining cows and dogs. Young Wizzle sets out to rescue the local Moobark, but finds himself in a sticky situation...

In this latest adhesive adventure, revolution is in the air as the boggarts run riot in Sabden. Who will stop their reign of terror?

In this latest glutinous episode, our heroes find themselves stuck when they strike treacle too pure to be mined. Luckily (or unluckily, depending on when you're standing), Professor Baines-Pilling has a solution.

The Professor's new Treacle Vapour system goes horribly wrong, and the villagers find themselves somewhat stuck. Will they ever get free?

Lil's lost Charlie. Where can he have gone? Is he coming back? Or has he perhaps set off for pastures new?

Silas has a brilliant new idea - Mitton's Waffly Crunches! But to make them, a great deal of parkin is required. Will it be Lil or Nellie who wins the contract?

In the final adhesive adventure of The Treacle People's first sticky season, The Treacle Times holds a competition for Best Village Show. Silas is determined that Sabden should enter - and win - but can the villagers really pull themselves together long enough to put on a vaguely tolerable performance? Tune in to find out!

It's almost Christmas in the little treacle-mining village of Sabden - it often is in December - and everyone's feeling festive. Alas, there's trouble ahead when Lil's pudding makes a bid for freedom, the Prof's weather machine goes 'orribly wrong, and Santa gets lost in the gathering fog. Can the villagers save the holiday, or will it be a terribly Sticky Christmas?
