==Format== The programme featured Hart and the animated [[Plasticine]] character [[Morph (character)|Morph]], and other characters created by David Sproxton like 'Smoulder the Moulder', which was a lump of mould which would create props by 'spraying' them out of a spray can. The only other human to appear on a regular basis was Mr. Bennett, the caretaker, played by [[Colin Bennett (UK TV)|Colin Bennett]]. The programme won a [[BAFTA]] award for Hart in 1984. As well as demonstrating small-scale projects (the type that viewers might be able to do), Hart also created large-scale artworks on the TV studio floor and even used beaches and other open spaces as 'canvases' (to be viewed from a camera-crane). This idea was later adopted by ''[[Art Attack]]'', which began in 1990. A regular feature of the programme was 'The Gallery', which displayed artworks sent in by young viewers. The easy-listening [[vibraphone]] music accompanying this feature β "[[Left Bank Two]]", composed by Wayne Hill β has passed into British TV musical lore. In later series, "Left Bank Two" alternated with [[John Williams (guitarist)|John Williams]]' recording of "[[Cavatina (Myers)|Cavatina]]", and in the final three series, the theme music was replaced by the more reggae-like "Passion Punch", composed by [[Stanley Myers]], and The Gallery music was replaced by "Marguerite", by Bob Morgan, which is also well-remembered by many viewers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7837849.stm |title=UK | Magazine | A bit of vibraphone nostalgia |publisher=BBC News |date=2009-01-19 |accessdate=2013-07-24}}</ref>
