HARRY'S MAD

'''Harry's Mad''' was a children's television programme shown in the UK on CITV from 1993 to 1996. It is based upon a book wrote by Dick King-Smith.
The show begins when Harry Holdsworth (Gareth Parrington) inherits his American great uncle George's macaw named Madison. At first the Holdsworth family aren't best pleased with their new pet but soon they start to notice that Madison is no ordinary parrot, and that he is highly intelligent and very articulate. He becomes an instant family member. As well as getting the Holdsworth's out of many problems, Madison is also the cause of many too. Terry Crumm (Mark Billingham) hears about Madison's intelligence and sets out to steal him on many occasions, but most of the time Madison foils his plans and saves the day.
In the third series, the family sell their house and move to a rather run down guest-house (inherited from Aunt Agatha), Harry was studying for his GCSE's back at his old school and so wasn't featured much in this series. Instead Hattie and Jool's (Aunt Agatha's adopted children) take his place.
In the fourth and final series, Jools leaves the family and Harry returns from his GCSE's
Many guest stars appeared in ''Harry's Mad'' including Dave Lee Travis, Michaela Strachan and Steve Davis.
