Introduction post to Uhu!

Uhu! was produced by NRK and aired for the first time in 2001 as a children's show.

The show is about a ghost house where ghosts get sent after they run out of ghost energy and cannot haunt the living anymore. The house is the last stop on the road to Hermetika, the afterlife for ghosts where everything is nice. At the house, the ghosts are welcomed by Polter, the ghost running things around there, and he takes them to meet the Oracle, who gives the ghost a final task to complete before they can pass on to Hermetika. If they fail the task or let anyone else know about the task, they will be shrunken down and sent to Slampamperøyene, a place that's very unpleasant, a bit cold, and boring. Polter's task is to ensure all the ghosts in the ghost house complete their tasks.

Some fun facts about ghosts: they only eat canned food and they do so by pushing it into their stomachs from the outside. They also sleep standing up, resting against a pillow nailed to the wall. And they are invisible in the sunlight, both for humans and for each other. The ghosts can also teleport, each with their own sounds. When the say "hello" or "goodbye" they say "uhu" - where the show's name comes from.

The show has at least one musical number each episode.

The ghosts:

Polter is the main character and the boss in the house. He is a disco ghost with an afro and his task is to look after all the other ghosts. Funky disco music plays and he dances every time he teleports.

Geir Gatsby is a trickster who only wants to be lazy and have fun, often at the other ghosts' expense. His task is to hang a picture in the living room, but he never wants to do it. When he teleports we hear a racecar.

Albert is an inventor ghost, keeping mostly to himself in the attic. His task is to invent a completely new colour. We hear electricity when he teleports.

Berit Smerit Perit is a diva, an actor and a performer, loving the spot-light and can't admit when she is wrong, but always helps her friends loosen up and have more confidence in themselves. Her task is to teach Albert how to dance cha-cha-cha. Applause plays when she teleports.

Blitzabeth is always angry and complaining about everything. Her task is to be pleasant and nice to people. We hear a lightening strike when she teleports.

Napoleon is a baker. He loves to bake and spend all his time in the kitchen. He is also incredibly scared of everything. His task is to bake the world's best chocolate cake, but whenever he tries he can only ever bake Napoleon's cake.

Ridder Reddik is a knight. She can smell dragons and are always ready to fight them. That's why everyone else is hiding the fact that there's a dragon living in their attic from her. Her task is to find the Holy Marmalade Jar. When she teleports she makes the sound of a trumpet.

Ivers and Avers are twin ghosts and children. Their task is to sleep for 365 days. They almost made it once, but they were woken up after 364 days and have to try again.
