Bugville with Paul Howard 5+
Wonderfully imaginative comedy adventures with Bugville’s home-grown superheroes.
Home to millions of bugs, Bugville was a rotten, crime-ridden city that stank of stale underpants – that is until Superfly and Midge came to clean up the streets.

But our heroes have their work cut out, facing the likes of Nasty Nat (the nastiest gnat in Bugville) and a giant robotic goo-shooting caterpillar. And all this before heading home for a tasty ‘lice-cream’. Can the heroes defeat Electro Slug and his evil plot to wreak revenge on all flies? You’ll have a good slime finding out!
