      It starts with a truck pulling a merry go round crashes off the road and all the different merry go round characters (trucks and helicopters) all come to life.. I think it was meant to be a series but never made it past this pilot. But they are all helping eachother out of the wreckage and finding others in this mystical place. it was awesome as it wasn't a cartoon. they were real objects being filmed which gave it a real mystical quality. I really hope someone else out there knows what im babbling on about.


      Found this short description on a website "One stormy night a trailer carrying the Merry Mechanicals Carousel crashes and leaves a twisted mass of metal. One by one the little characters come to life as the magic of Cogs Hollow touches them." Unfortunately no pics tho and the site stopped selling it in 94

            Do you know I can't even remember, god knows where my parents found it! It was on this video with this other cartoon called Bertie Bat which no one else remembers either.
            I wish so much I'd kept the video as well, there's literally no mention of it on the internet anywhere.
            Haha I actually can't believe someone else used to watch it, I've never found anyone else ever bar this one person on myspace (cooool).
            Oh the happy memories. Singing screwdrivers. Oxy (was that the fire extinguisher?). Talking fairground rides. Those were the days!!!

                  ah... i remember this... and i still own the video... here is what it says on the back...

                  Introducing Cogs Hollow

                  Cogs Hollow is a magical place. A very secret place, although not a stones throw away from a busy motorway.

                  Into it one dark and stormy night fell the Merry Mechanicals Carousel together with the trailer it has been travelling on when lightning struck, sending it crashing down the mountain side. Daylight revealed the trailer and carousel lying in a twisted sorry tangle. The colourful little characters - beloved by children, lay scattered around unmoving; until one by one the magic of the hollow touched them to life.

                  Running time: 52 minutes approximately

                    I remember Bertie The Bat. In fact I have the video that you are talking about. The video is called "Junior Jamborie"

                    remember it?

                      I've just bidded on it. I think we should create a wikipedia entry. I'll have to watch it again but then we should def get it up on the net.

                      Also is anyone out there able to transfer video to a dvd? If so please let me know!

                          So pleased to have found some people who have also heard of Cogs Hollow, i had begun to think i had imagined it! I'm going to search through my loft tonight to see if i still have my copy! It needs to be introduced to the world!! If we generate enough interest maybe they would bring it back!!

                          P.S. When your done with the copy you bought on e-bay can i please borrow it if i cant find mine?!

                            Hi there

                            Yes I do remember Cogs Hollow, It was about fairground characters and I think the lorry had an accident one night and they ended up undiscovered in the hollow. My daughter had the video but sorry, we don't know what happened to it... must have given it to a jumble sale or something. We've been racking our brains for days trying to remember what it was called because we were telling the little boy next door about it.
