Oscar's Orchestra

I always remember this British cartoon. I watched it for the first time when I was about 5 or 6 and I thought it was very good and enjoyable. It was shown on TCC (The Children's Channel) but sadly TCC went out of business in spring 1998 and it is now defunct. That was just a shame, wasn't it? It was also shown on the BBC as part of their children's block, CBBC and ViacomCBS (now known as Paramount Global) - owned Nickelodeon UK and Ireland.

It was produced by the same popular British animation studio who produces other such animated TV series and films as Dennis the Menace, Captain Zed and Zee Zone, The Secret Show and Rarg in association with Warner Music Vision and Europe Images.

It's about an evil dictator of the world, Thaddius Vent who has banned music forever and it's up to the talking piano called Oscar and his other fellow musical instruments to plot the evil madman Vent and his henchmen Lucius and Tank and soothsayer, Goodtooth. It is set in the distant future, the year 2743 in a city called New Vienna (we know it's in Austria).
