1950s children's TV

I didn't spend much time in England during the fifties but when I did I stayed with my grandparents who had a small black and white telly.

Could it have been Andy Pandy?

Definitely Andy Pandy on Tuesday.

Yes, it was Andy Pandy - I remember them all too!

Picture Book was my favourite.

The Woodentops for me.

Oh no; I'm going to disappear into utubeland now cause I've just seen Torchy and Twizzle...

I miss Muffin the Mule

I've got a photo taken of me on Muffin the Mule .

Muffin the Mule was my favourite. A couple of years ago, I read he was being brought back, well, a new Muffin series planned. I do wish Muffin would return. Tegan - imagine meeting Muffin, I bet Aka feels as I do, why couldn't we have met Muffin.

Yes

That's taking one-up-manship to the extreme.

Let's see the photo!!!

I did meet Peppa Pig and George though.

It was Andy Pandy. My favourite was Picture Book.

Does anyone remember Torchy the Battery Boy? The tune was 'Torchy, Torchy the little battery boy'. See you have just mentioned Torchy Tegan

Then there was Captain Pugwash,, very rude!!! Seaman Stains.
Master Bater

really?

Oh, wow, thank you all for putting me out of my misery so speedily! How could I forget Andy Pandy, shame on me, . Am I right that his chums were Teddy and Looby Loo and they co-habited in a large basket?

Tegan just dabbing my eyes after seeing the Woodentops again after more than 50 years - had never occurred to me to check out youtube for such an old prog, so a big thank you for that - it's made my day.

I liked Picture Book too - a very nice smiley lady with a gentle voice. Bill and Ben really got up my nose (talked rubbish!) and I wasn't especially fond of Rag, Tag and Bobtail, but they were better than nothing - there was so little on the box for children then.

I can't do the photo [I need a scanner?]. It was taken at Lewis's [Galen and Kate will know Lewis's]. Twizzel was well scary; I don't understand why I didn't have nightmares from watching that .

Joy; I found a film caled Savage Sam on utube the other day; I hadn't seen that for over 50 years and, yes, I was in tears seeing it. I could always remember the theme tune and it absolutely crippled me hearing it again.utube is like a time machine; sometimes it makes me happy but sometimes the nostalgia overwhelms me [and I feel soo old]. But to see things like The Box of Delights and The Children of Green Knowe again is wonderful.

newist - is that true? I watched it in all innocence! Why wasn't there an outcry at the time (by adults, obviously)?

Not to mention Roger, the cabin boy!

Bl**dy hell! The BBC was a den of iniquity even in those days, and I never knew!

I have a video with all of them on!! Wooden tops was definitely my favourite. I must get them on dvd now. Oh gosh it takes you back.
