Iconic 80s Kids Show 'The Trap Door' Makes a Triumphant Return on ITV Streaming Platform

Once upon a time, there was a beloved children's TV show that captured the hearts of many in the 1980s.

For years, fans have yearned to relive the magic of ITV's classic, The Trap Door, but were left in the dark as it remained unavailable on streaming platforms.

The Creepy Castle and Its Misfit Inhabitants

The Trap Door, which first aired in 1986, introduced viewers to a quirky group of monsters residing in a spooky castle.

The main characters included Berk, a lovable blue blob, Drutt, a spidery creature, and Boni, a skillful companion. Not to forget the mysterious master of the Castle, known as 'The Thing upstairs,' whose voice echoed through the halls.

Each episode was a short burst of delight, lasting only five minutes, with two series comprising twenty episodes each.

An Unforgettable Theme Song

One of the show's standout features was its unforgettable theme song, warning listeners: "Don't you open that trapdoor, you're a fool if you dare! Stay away from that trapdoor, 'cause there's something down there..."

After its initial success on CITV, The Trap Door made its way to VHS, DVD releases, and even international markets, captivating audiences worldwide.

Fans Rejoice... and Some Express Frustration

The news of The Trap Door's revival on ITVX has sparked joy among fans eager to revisit their childhood memories.

While many celebrated the show's return, some expressed disappointment that access to the series is limited to premium members of ITVX.

Despite the mixed reactions, the resurgence of this classic children's show serves as a delightful trip down memory lane for those who grew up watching Berk and his friends navigate the mysteries of the Trap Door.
