Roobarb and Custard, also called Roobarb, and called Roobarb & Custard Too. in its revival series, is a British cartoon television series created by Grange Calveley. It had two series, an original series in 1974 on BBC 1, and a revival series in 2005 on Channel 5.

The series stars the titular characters of Roobard and Custard, a green dog and a pink cat, with Roobarb taking on a more adventurous and enthusiastic role, while Custard takes on a more cynical role. It also featured various bird characters. The series had narration from Richard Briers, who passed away in 2013, four days prior to the animator, Godfrey.

The series briefly crossed over with the Doctor Who universe in the 1998 BBC promotional video Future Generations, which featured a young boy travelling through the settings of several series, including Doctor Who.

Partway through the promo, as the boy walks through Festive Road (from Mr Benn), the characters of Roobarb and Custard appear outside no. 60, with Roobarb up a tree in a similar fashion to the original series' intro, as well as having two birds land on Custard's head.
