They tell a tale of Noggin the Nog, the king of a land that strongly echoes popular culture's depiction of viking culture. Noggin the Nog is a shining example of British children's television which originally aired in 1959, but whose legacy has lasted for decades.

* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Played with. No actual dwarves appear, but Ronf (the only really characterised one of the LittlePeople of Hot Water Valley) is a belligerent, heavily bearded warrior with a Scottish accent; while his people don't normally live underground (except when hiding from the dragon), they do use tunnels to get through the Glass Mountains. Meanwhile, the other little people - the Omruds - DO live underground and are ingenious engineers and craftsmen. So basically dwarf tropes are divided between the two.
