Harvy's House

Harvy's House was a Kuboian Saturday evening children's variety television series that aired on Bumper's Block. It was hosted by puppet character Harvy, a purple alien who was voiced by Roddy Graston, and was divided into multiple different segments, including interviews, previews of other children's programmes and quizzes, broadcast live in front of an audience of children.

The show ran for a total of three series, each with eighteen episodes, from 1993 until 1996, where it was cancelled due to budget cuts made by the TVVC. It occupied the 7:00p.m. timeslot for all four of its series.

Production
When deciding on the mascot for Bumper's Block, Dominic Halls came up with a green spherical cyclops creature and a purple one. Ultimately, the green one was chosen, whilst the purple one was chosen for the character of Harvy. Unlike Bumper, who could only make alien sounds, Harvy was fully capable of human speech.

Harvy's voice actor Roddy Graston believes that the show was produced under a tight budget, as he was given very little time to practice his lines. A few of the games played on the show were originally supposed to be their own programme, but were added to Harvy's House to save on money.
