Dream Street was a British children's TV series of the late 1990s. It featured the antics of a variety of toy vehicles in a child's playroom. Unusually for this type of show, the vehicles were not conventionally animated but were radio-controlled in real-time. The storyline was largely narrated, originally by British comedian Russ Abbott http://www.tellyprofiles.com/personalities/abbottruss.htm and later by others. It continues to air on Tiny Pop
