  Little Gems - Stig of the Dump
Stig of the Dump was a charming little adventure series shown on ITV back in the early 1980s (possible 1981).
At then end of the last episode the children and Gran are on a train leaving the station when Barney and Lou see Stig (or whom believe to be Stig) in a scrap yard.
They wave goodbye to him as the train leaves, but Stig does not see them and he is left behind to continue his life on his own again.

Fatty and Specky is a light hearted track which shows that Stig is quite capable of ripping the piss out of himself just as much as he is capable of ripping up mics.
In fact Stig needs to be commended for the beats he has chosen as well as the good job done on the mix which sounds crisp.
Stig has that hardcore appeal, whilst at the same time has that indeterminable quality which will also appeal to a wider mainstream audience.

 72% Stig   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Stig was - indeed, as the book says, is - a caveman who lives in the depth of Kent.
And then there's the escapade when Barney and Stig go hunting when Lou's riding with the local hunt for the first time - no hunt sabs here - and Stig decides that the horse Lou's firm, young thighs are enclosing would make a nice casserole, and decides to shoot it.
I have an idea that Stig eventually ups and leaves, as he likes Barney no more than the rest of the us, and is worn out with his incessent high-pitched gibberish.

 View topic - STIG OF THE DUMP.. HOMELESS MICROPHONIST EP RELEASED MONDAY » JumpOff.TV   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
For those who know of Stig, weather it be from his victory at the 2006 UK Battlescarrs, his mauling of competitors in recent “Jump off” battles, his on stage appearances alongside Foreign Beggars or more likely his drunken tom foolery at any event, this may not come as much of a surprise.
The Homeless Microphonist EP is Stig Of The Dump’s first offering as a solo artist with 8 tracks and the odd skit thrown in for good measure, it is far more than you would expect from your average Extended Player.
As the title suggests Stig is currently homeless and spends his nights on the Beggars studio floor, while the novelty of a drunken fat man is one to enjoy, the smell is at times not so pleasurable so please support the cause and cop the EP so a more suitable abode can be found.

 Stig   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
History: Stig lived in a bizarre house in the middle of nowhere, complete with a demonic netherworld, wretched spirit talisman on the wall of the master bedroom.
Stig had built the house himself, but somehow the demonic netherworld, wretched spirit talisman had been there when he moved in; he figured it was the neighbourhood kids playing pranks (this might have been more likely if he had actually lived somewhere there were neighbourhood kids...or even a neighbourhood).
Satan ordered the annoying Stig to be taken to "the Cavern of a Million Screams", but the exceptionally thick minions, Calcabrina and Ciriatto, given the job of taking him there got mixed up, and instead dumped him in the Dark Lord's own Pleasure Palace.

I first came across 'Stig' over 35 years ago, and it's still as magical to me. For me, Stig is defined by the Edward Ardizzone illustrations, one of which is retained for the cover of the CD.
The very end of the story, with Stig returning to the 20th century and becoming a petrol pump attendant, is the weakest aspect, adn I'm not surprised that some TV adaptations have chosen other endings.

Sure, there's a great children's book called "Stig of the Dump" that's popular in Britain, but that didn't seem sufficient to generate such traffic.
"Stig" literally means "path" in Swedish, which may come from the Old Norse STÍGANDR, meaning "Wanderer." Apparently, it's an old man's name in Sweden, and fairly uncool.
