I remember thoroughly enjoying watching Bertha when I was younger, however on realising that it was first broadcast in 1985, I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I'll have been 15 or 16 years old at the time! Still, one is never too old to appreciate the charm of stop motion animation... that's my excuse anyway, and I'm sticking to it!
The series was produced by Woodland Animations, narrated by Roy Kinnear, with the music and lyrics written by Bryan Daly. Bertha's theme song is sung by Guy Fletcher, who co-wrote The Hollies 1970 hit I Can't Tell The Bottom From The Top and Cliff Richard's 1973 Eurovision Song Contest entry Power To All Our Friends.

Cyborg Dance : Newcleus
Sticking with a robot-voice theme, this excellent slice of electro from Brooklyn's Newcleus pushes all the necessary buttons. Taken from their sophomore LP 'Space is the Place' (1985) and B-side to the single release of the title track is Cyborg Dance... and I'm sure the cyborgs danced!
Best described as space-hop, Newcleus only really released two LPs with much of their post '85 output being company produced compilation and remix LPs released under the Newcleus banner. Fortunately their 1st album 'Jam on Revenge' (1984) features tracks titled Auto Man and I'm Not A Robot, so you can be fairly certain that this isn't the last you'll hear from Newcleus on 101 Songs About Robots.
