The Morph Files (1995)
Morph and his pals are clay characters, infinitely mutable. First Morph and a pal play hide and seek, and it's tough to find Morph. Morph is also computer literate, adept at video games that feature his friends in sorry situations. While he and Chas are clowning around, they wake a colicky baby, and they must go to great and creative lengths to get the child back to sleep. By the time the babe is sleeping, Morph is ready for a nap, but his noisy pal keeps him awake. Can this man with feet (and head) of clay find a way to get his rest?

Season 1:
After a hard morning playing hide and seek, Morph really needs to relax and take it easy but the peace is shattered by noisy Chas. He’s making such a racket that he accidentally wakes up the baby Folly is babysitting. It’s all hands on deck to get the baby back to sleep again.
Morph and Chas are playing in the snow when they encounter an abominable snowman. He actually turns out to be a friendly sort of chap so they carry on undeterred, but then Morph has a skiing mishap which leaves him split in two. Will he be able to pull himself together?
Morph is feeling artistic but he’s struggling to get his creative juices flowing and gets distracted by playing Space Invaders on his computer. But when he and Chas fight over the joystick, they accidentally release an alien from the printer. Then all sorts of things start to go missing...
Morph isn’t happy when he sees that Chas has a bigger cake than him so he sets about making his own. This doesn’t end very well and soon Morph starts to feel ill. Everyone rallies round to try and make him feel better, but looking after Morph is exhausting work.
Morph decides to enter Nailbrush into a dog show. After teaching him some tricks and scrubbing him up, Morph lines him up with all the other contestants. But Chas soon decides it’s all rather silly and starts causing mischief.
Morph and Chas really like their food, but when they struggle to move Delilah’s heavy bag they decide it’s time to cut down on the calories and get some exercise. Getting fit isn’t easy, but a surprising side effect is how helpful Morph and Chas suddenly become.
Morph takes Chas out on his imaginary boat, but Chas ends up falling overboard. They switch to a toy boat instead, but Chas still ends up in the water. Morph then plays on his own, but it’s not much fun sailing solo. He tries to get the rest of the gang to join in but all they want to do is sleep!
Morph has been invited to a film premiere but has nothing smart to wear. After Chas breaks the washing machine he offers to make Morph a brand new suit, but it’s not really Morph’s style. So Grandmorph organises a film night instead, but his film selection isn’t quite what Morph wanted to watch…
Morph’s enthusiasm for swimming wanes when he realises the potential dangers, so he takes up a more relaxing hobby – gardening! Morph designs his perfect garden on the computer then sets about creating it for real. But the roots of his plants start to cause problems for the rest of the gang under the table.
Morph puts on a show but his impersonation of Chas leads to a fight and an escalating prank war during which Morph manages to turn himself invisible. Morph discovers that being invisible can be lots of fun, but Chas soon decides enough is enough. He must find out how to make Morph visible again.
Morph and Chas’s game of snooker is interrupted by Little Green, one of The Very Small Creatures. Little Green is tired of always being left out so Morph teaches him to morph. When that backfires, Little Green goes into the computer and enlarges himself. Because no one will be able to ignore Big Green…
Morph and Chas make a right mess while playing. Grandmorph asks them to tidy up but they would much rather play cowboys. But when they disturb Grandmorph’s nap, that’s the final straw. He dons his Sheriff's hat and carts ‘Chas the Kid’ and ‘Two Gun Morph’ off to bed. That’ll teach them…
It’s Morph’s birthday but everyone seems to have forgotten. And they are all acting really strangely. Morph wonders if he’s done something to upset them all. But what? He decides it would be better if he just leaves, but before he goes he finds a card inviting him to come under the table...
