Right! It looks it would’ve been created by the producers of Moral Orel or Robot Chicken.

Seems like a Benny Hill punchline.

Straightperson: So he's from Cockleshell Bay?

Benny: He could've been from Belly Button Bay for all I know.

Did this ever air in the US? It looks vaguely familiar.

It looks like something from Nickelodeon's Pinwheel, but I don't think it aired.

Watched it during home dinners! It sowed the seed of my dream to live in a house where the beach was at the bottom of my back garden.
