Funnybones ("Welsh: Y Sgerbydion") was a Welsh children's television series that was first aired in Welsh on S4C and in English on the BBC in 1992. It was based on the eponymous series of books by Janet and Allan Ahlberg which were illustrated by Andre Amstutz and focused on the adventures of a gang of skeletons. There was a Big Skeleton (whose catchphrase was "Good idea!"), a Little Skeleton and a Dog Skeleton. Each episode was 5 minutes in length. The voices were provided by popular comedian Griff Rhys Jones who also sang the theme tune.
