Tricky - The Dragon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tricky was a Saturday Morning CITV show that ran from 30 August to 20 December 1997, though the second show was pre-empted by Princess Diana's funeral. It was the first live show hosted by an animated program - a talking dragon named Tricky. His co-host was a strange dragon-cat hybrid, who hatched from an egg in the third show, and was called 'Purrdy' because of a competition. Claudia Winkleman made frequent appearances on the show, and Tricky would usually call her 'Claudia Winklebottom'. The show didn't prove to be all that popular, and only lasted a short while, but Tricky made a comeback to TV screens in 2003; he was re-named 'Rorry', though Purrdy kept her name, and hosted the kid's channel POP.
