Metal Mickey (1980-1983) Country of Origin:
UK CREDITS PRODUCTION SCRIPT DIRECTION SOUND REGULAR CAST PLOT SUMMARY Metal Mickey is a robot built by youngster Ken Wilburforce to act as a simple domestic labour-saving device for the rest of his large family. But Mickey has magical control over electrical appliances and his catchphrase of “Boogie Boogie!” has the rest of the family dancing, leading to all kinds of unpredictable adventures. CAPSULE REVIEW A painfully bad sitcom aimed at children whose “leading man” had debuted on the Saturday morning show The Saturday Banana (1978). He was irritating enough there but in his own show, he was plain unbearable. It seemed popular enough at the time (40 episodes were made) but now it's simply too embarrassing to endure.
