Anyway, dont quite remember the point of it.. i think it had a number of different presenters and they drove in on some kind of mini truck.. at the end they said "chockerblock checkng out"
Was in the mid 80's.. Always looked forward to it
This: always found them very weird and surreal, with their pipe-note communciation, their blue string pudding, and their friend the Soup Dragon, who guarded that hot geysers of soup in the cave. I also loved Mr Benn-although the bit where bachelor Mr Benn leans on his front fence and-according to the narrator-watches all the children go by, causes a wary eyebrow to raise, in this less innocent age. Both series seemed decidedly psychedelic and 'trippy', but given the era they were made, this does not seem surprising.
Exactly when did you get your homework done??!!!
All the smallfilms programmes are pure Golden Age children's tv - Noggin the Nog, Bagpuss, Ivor the Engine. Pogle's Wood is the one I remember most fondly, from when I was about 4 and sat on a pouffe three feet away from the little b&w tv while eating strawberry jam on toast.
Bagpuss
The Pink Panther
This may be a bit random for someone who was young at the time but I really liked 'Out of Town' with Jack Hargreaves.
Lovely post.
It was okay-but didn't it get just a little bit monotonous the way the closing credits revolved around Timothy Claypole being chased around by victims of one of his misfired spells or schemes, every single episode!?
The first ever series of the show was in 1976, and the recording of it was released. I brought it out of interest, as I did not start watching until 1978-and I have to say the first series was rather restrained and reliant more on wit, in comparison to the later series, which were increasingly reliant on more and wackier characters and situations, which became less intelligent and increasingly repetitive over time. The old Victorian character, one of the original ghost trio, was a great character, with his dry wit and the ghost of his mother, who appeared to a lot younger than him through dying young, yet bossed him about and told him off in a very Victorian way.
I always found the bits with the Meaker's neighbours, never quite sure what was going on next door, and often affected by misfired spells, to be the funniest!
That sounds rather kinky!
