Headquarters[]

The headquarters of the Purple Hand Gang is a fort built in Henry and Peter's back garden. It was once threatened to be demolished by Mum, but with the help of Margaret and the producer of The Big Dig, it was kept and rebuilt. It is mainly a bunch of bars like monkey bars with a purple tarpaulin over it and an old sofa inside. In the books, it is positioned behind branches and there is a throne and a biscuit tin inside.

Flag[]

In the TV series, the flag is made from an old pillowcase painted purple and a light purple circle in the middle with a purple handprint in it.

Rivals[]

The Gang's archrivals are Moody Margaret's Secret Club, and they are always battling it out to be the best.

Footnotes[]

Trivia[]

  • The Purple Hand Gang club in the movie and the TV show is much bigger than the club in the books.
  • The Purple Hand Gang is a parody of The Black Hand Gang, the group that assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand. This resulted in the First World War. In fact, as seen in older book prints of Horrid Henry: Tricking the Tooth Fairy, the club was named the 'Black Hand'.
  • The fort is waterproof in "Horrid Henry and the Lost Dog" as Basher can be seen sleeping in it without any signs of water getting in.
