Charlie Chalk was a Stop Motion Animation produced in the 1980s in the UK by Woodland Productions , the creators of Postman Pat and other children's television programs. It tells the story of Charlie Chalk - a jolly Clown who, after falling asleep whilst fishing out at sea, ends up on a strange Island by the name of Merrytwit (as explained in the title sequence before each episode).

The first episode of the series (entitled 'Shipwrecked Charlie') finds Charlie having just landed on Merrytwit, and after making friends with some of its inhabitants, decides to stay and build a home there. The following episodes follow Charlie and his new friends on various adventures on the island.
