Sky Kids announces new series The Epic Adventures of Morph
The Epic Adventures of Morph will see Morph reunite with his sidekick Chas and their old friends Delilah, Grandmorph and the Very Small Creatures.
After almost 40 years apart, Morph and the gang are back to their mischievous antics, taking their first brave step beyond their desktop home into the big wide world.
The stop-motion animation will continue in its classic dialogue-free style.

Morph joins the RTS East Centre Launch Event!
We’ll be celebrating our new Centre in Norwich on November 30th amongst exhibits created by some of the UK’s most imaginative artists. Investigate an origami city over-laid with ever-changing sound and light, be transported into the world of virtual reality while controlling a skeleton avatar and have your face transformed into the winged creatures that inhabit the exhibition.
RTS Centres' Council gets animated
The chairs of the Society’s 13 regional centres, along with representatives from RTS HQ and Board of Trustees chair John Hardie, were tasked with creating their own Morph figurine.
Led by Aardman Productions animator Jim Parkyn, the group set about crafting their own plasticine creations, and photographer Jon Craig was on hand to capture the results.
While the RTS Midlands Chair, Isabel Clarke, scooped up the prize for the best likeness with her well-made Morph, it’s safe to say that the Centres’ Council won’t be giving up the day job yet.
