| Archibald the Koala | comment |
Archibald the Koala is a 13 minute 52-episode British cartoon that aired from September 1998 to July 2000, produced by Millimages and HIT Entertainment. It was originally a series of children's books written and illustrated by French artist Paul Cox in the early 1990s and was known as "The Adventures of Archibald the Koala on Rastepappe Island". Actor Richard Griffiths voices the title character.The show takes place on a secluded island called "Rastepappe", which is populated by anthropomorphic koalas and badgers. Its city, Koalaville, is filled with colorful characters including a nervous mayor, a hopeless inventor, a lazy fisherman, a short-tempered chef, and a bossy painter. Because of the strange things happening on the island, the citizens rely on Detective Archibald to solve the cases.The show originally aired in the United Kingdom on ITV's children's block, CITV. In the United States, it aired on Cartoon Network's preschool block Small World, then reran again on Sprout a year after the channel was formed until Comcast took over and removed all shows from HiT Entertainment, PBS, and Sesame Workshop. | |

Only Six Faces | |
| Archibald the Koala / int_18a84025 | comment |
Only Six Faces: All of the koalas and badgers share the same body types. The only difference is the clothing they wear. | |

French Jerk: Rastepappe's chef Soufflé is French and because of how he takes pride in his dishes is very haughty. However, this is only on his worst days. | |

| Archibald the Koala / int_33900b7 | comment |
Dresses the Same: The conflict of "The Misunderstanding" has both Giovanni and Sullivan dressing up in the same costume for the ball (they both dressed up as Zorro). This causes a lot of mishaps as the attendees are confused about which person is which. | |

Forgotten Birthday | |
| Archibald the Koala / int_72fb8772 | comment |
Forgotten Birthday: "A Hapless Birthday" is about Archibald celebrating his birthday, but nobody wants to celebrate with him. This is because the island is planning a big surprise party for him. The gift everyone wants to give to Archibald is to upgrade his bicycle, but he soon finds out it's missing and has to find it. | |

Heat Wave: "The Heatwave" has Archduke being miserable that it's gonna rain again the next day as he wants to put out his parade, so Edison creates a machine that can suck up the rain clouds for the next day. Edison bets Miss Julie that it won't rain for a whole week and his machine makes the whole island in a heatwave. | |

The Bet | |
| Archibald the Koala / int_b5b4b485 | comment |
The Bet: "The Heatwave" has Edison and Miss Julie betting on what the weather forecast for the week is on the island. "Stop That Train!" has Archduke and Soufflé betting on the new railway system being a success after the chef complains that the train doesn't stop at his restaurant. Archduke lost the bet as the accidents on the railway were caused by Archduke's own mishap on making the train whistle at the highest pitch. However, Archibald tells the mayor that he won't have to scrap the railway as he suggests adding a buffet car for the train so Soufflé can have a job to cook. | |
