Chorlton and the Wheelies was created by Cosgrove Hall Productions for Thames Television and broadcast on the ITV network.
The eponymous lead character gets his name from the suburb of Manchester in which the Cosgrove Hall studio was based: the legend "Made in Chorlton-cum-Hardy" is found written on the inside of the egg from which he hatches in the very first episode of the series.
