The Chair

25th July 1991 23 mins Season 1 Episode 67

One awful day, Moominpappa's chair breaks. This might not sound irreparable, but creative people are funny - they rely on certain material comforts for their inspiration to run freely. Without the chair to sit in Moominpappa can no longer write, and although he is brought new old chairs by the dozen somehow the sit differently, they weren't his chair, and they don't inspire him one bit. Moomin plays an important part in the destruction of the chair, but fortunately also the main part in its resurrection.

Adventures of Moominpappa: Part 3

Again, Moominpappa is talked into telling the others about his stormy youth - never a difficult task with autobiographers. He tells us about how the Fuddler met the Muddle and how they came to share the buttons and the coffee tin; about the re-appearance of the ghost and how he came to share quarters with Moominpappa, about how Fredriksson finally finished his new Oshun Oxtra which brought them up first into the air and then down into the sea, from which they were saved by Edward the Booble, and last, how he came to meet the charming young Moomin maiden who later was to become Moominmamma.
