'''''Alphabet Castle''''' is an educational children's television program produced in the UK and created by [Michael Cole](/source/Michael_Cole_(writer)). It began in September 1993 with a series of 27 episodes aired on [CITV](/source/CITV), and ran until December 1995. It had three main characters: King Alpha, Queen Bet, and Gobbledygook, an animated turkey. It starred Stephen Cannon and [Joanne Campbell](/source/Joanne_Campbell_(actress)). Music was by [Paul Reade](/source/Paul_Reade).
A total of three series and 65 editions were produced by [Michael Cole](/source/Michael_Cole_(writer)) productions for [Carlton Television](/source/Carlton_Television). Like its near namesake, ''[Alphabet Zoo](/source/Alphabet_Zoo)'', a decade earlier, each episode was dedicated to a letter of the [alphabet](/source/alphabet) (although this format was dropped for the final series); episodes were generally around 10 minutes in length, and were broadcast in [CITV](/source/CITV) on Wednesday afternoons.
