Mr. Chips
The series' original mascot was/is a golden robot called "Mr. Chips". The figure often appeared in the animations for the catchphrases. Mr. Chips was originally depicted as being quite tall, but as the series progressed, he became a smaller figure. Variations of the mascot sometimes appeared in the animations, such Mr. Chips with a lemon for a head (for the catchphrase "Lemon Heads" on the episode broadcast 28 October 1994).
Along with Walker, the Mr. Chips character was not featured in the 2000 series. Instead, a family of a father, mother, son, and daughter, appeared. These characters were also featured in the opening sequence, showing the family trying to 'catch' the 'letters' of the phrase "Catchphrase", the family themselves as the letters of "Catch". This family were not as popular as Mr. Chips, but despite this, the family appeared until the series finished in 2002. Mr Chips appeared only at the end credits during this time, but he appeared in the catchphrases as well in the last series in 2002, using his 1998-1999 guise.
However, with the series returning in 2013 (following a 10 year hiatus), Mr Chips is once again the Mascot of Catchphrase.
