Hi
I contacted itv and they said they do put things on disc although it is not cheap, if anyone would like the information I was supplied:

moomin_mamma@hotmail.com

All I can recall of the theme is:

The valley is the place, and Gradys on the case. With Bulgy and Radar....

Then later:

Sometimes it seems you just can win you try but everywhere you look their closing in

Unfortunately I dont remember much, I have a feeling I saw only a couple of episodes, but because I was so taken in by it, it stuck.
I think I may have started watching it around the time it was taken off air, which doesnt help lol, so I may have only gotten to see one of the last episodes. But I digress...
I destinctly remember an old animal, a female rat I believe, living in a washing machine. A horrible looking black rat, the white rats sister. And I recall the white rat being in a relationship with a smaller rat... though reading through wiki I find he was actually a door mouse! lol It sounds odd, but I recall a destinct story structure, where the black rat was trying to split the love interest apart and I believe there was a song in there somewhere... Ive been carrying this around with me for years and I cant tell you how good it feels that I now know I didnt just make it up! :)

I remember only a few bits of the intro lyrics.

I cant remember when they came in but i remember

"her brothers just a rat"
something something alarming.

till scuzzy caught, the valleys hot?.

I recall "everywhere you look we
e closing in" mentioned in the chorus.

Some lyrics I could be far off on but thats what I remember, I remember the tune, shame I cant get it through that way.

Wow, thats a great find Christa, thanks!

Their actual names are so much better. Whats wrong with Chloro (phylle) and Anthracite? I watched it in a different language (not French), but they still kept their actual names.
I noticed some stuff on you tube:




I looooved this show...I miss it! :(...

Im another fan of this series and I had some trouble trying to find out the name! Thank you for this website! I wish there was more that could be done to get this :S

Just wanted to say thank you! It turns out Im not the only person who ever watched this show. It was my favourite show as a kid but no one I know has heard of it.

Can I have a full episodes
of Grady Greenspace
on Youtube please

WOW, somebody else who loved this show..its took me months to find out the name!

Ive just found a clip of the show...

Watch it from 35 seconds, its a CITV advert compilation...its the only video footage I can find!

I love the Grady Greenspace character, I hate Scuzzy.
I also love the owls in the tower.

Ive just found another site with more pictures (the one to the right is Radar)!

Its a french site but here is the Google-translated version

Enjoy!

I've just noticed that someone has added some GG content to YouTube. Its just a slideshow with no sound but it'll help to raise awareness :)

OMG I have been talking about this show for years and no-one knew what I was talking about like the council of owls or feeding worms to the mole for information or the rats. If someone cold upload video files it would be great, Id love to be able to watch Grady again, what a legend!!!

WOW. WE ABSOLUTELY ADORED GRADY GREENSPACE, EVEN NAMING A MUCH LOVED FERRET AFTER HIM. I JUST GOOGLED GRADY THINKING IT WOULD BE EASY TO BUY A GG CD FOR MY HUSBANDS 54TH BIRTHDAY (BET WERE SOME OF THE OLDEST FANS) CANT BELIEVE THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE!! WOT A GREAT PRESENT it would have been. BRING GRADY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Vick: I emailed Central Independent Television (the owners of the UK rights to GG) when I started this site and have had no response :(

this is the full song (theres a bit that others missed)i can remember it like it was yesterday The valley is the place (doop,doop) and gradys on the case (doop, doop) with bulgy and with radar (doop,doop) its up to him (da,da,da,da) to bring crooks in (da,da,da,da)sometimes you seem you just cant win, you try but everywhere you look they
are closing in...you know its a crime to smell a rat, and skuzzy STINKS so lock him in the clink clinks..the valley is the place, and gradys on the case, so crack the case with grady greenspace!

maybe its worth writing/emailing the bbc to see if theyll consider releasing a copy of gg to put on this site/you tube for the fans? all they can do is say no & it would be so amazing if they do but not sure with copyrights etc its probably unlikely. GRADY FOR PRIME MINISTER! (HED DO A BETTER JOB OF LOOKING AFTER OUR PLANET!)

Hi nice site man thx

@Edward:
To get a video cassette onto the internet you first need to get it on to your PC.

You can do that in one of two ways: either get a video capture card for your PC so you can connect your VCR to it (see these links:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071115043658AAOUaB3)
Or you could just point a digital camcorder at the TV screen while playing the video. The quality wont be as good but thats probably the easiest option.

Once you have the vid on your PC upload it to YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_upload
(Vids on YoutTube cant be any longer than 10mins though)

Once on YouTube you will get a link to the vid, just copy and paste it here!

I have the videos.. if someone can tell me how to post them on the internet then they are going on straight away and every1 will be watchin 6 episodes of the tv show again.. the quality and sound are spot on perfect !! its like watchin it on normal tv..

i loved this programme soooo much! for about 5 years now ive been asking people about this programme and have been searching for evidence on the internet that this programme actually did exist! it made it harder as i couldn't actually remember the name! all i could remember were rats/ferrets? living on a dump in a washing machine and they went to the parliament of owls for advice.

I used to love grady greenspace, I've thought about it for years. I'm 17 now and remember the rats scaring the crap out of me when I used to watch it on citv. Wasn't there a few of the evil rats? I remember like a gray old woman rat and two or three other males, she used to sit in the washing machine in the dump. Good to see like minded people. Nothing but good memories.

"Sometimes you seem you just can't win, you try but everywhere you look they're closing in..the valley is the place come and solve the case..crack the case with grady greenspace."


rhonda rat
grady greenspace
franky fox
bolgy the frog
radar the bat
skuzzy
sharpeone
johnny bravo the eagle
silky snake
the council - owls
spike hedgehog
cling cling the prison
tessy rabbit

I know everything about this..I know for a fact I have a video with about 6 episodes bk to bk..if I do find them I will post them on here..

I believe the Grady theme tune opened with the following:

The Valley is the place,
And Grady's on the Case,
With Bulgee and with Radar..,
Its up to him,
To bring crooks in

That's as far as I can remember for the opening!

Here's an image of grady

It seems it was originally a french show that was dubbed into English.
Here's a French site about it that the previous link refers to:

After months of searching I've finally found another website with a little info and a few pics of the show:
