Production notes

Though produced in the United Kingdom for BBC, this show aired first on The Family Channel in the United States. The air dates shown reflect the first airing in the UK.

Rotten Ralph is the thoroughly rotten and lovable star of this series. Ruled by what he insists is genetic, Ralph is constantly getting into trouble of one kind or another and causing havoc wherever he goes. Ralph wrecks things, breaks things, slimes things and destroys things. He will ride his bike across a newly planted lawn (leaving a long trail of skid marks), or enter a kitchen for a simple glass of milk and leave the place totally trashed.

But there's a joyousness to his rottenness, since he is not attempting to hurt others.

The series is based on books published by Harper Collins in the "I Can Read" format for beginning readers.

Two TV specials with Rotten Ralph won several prizes.
