What about THE MAGIC ROUNDABOUT.. or is that really giving my age away? Florence and Zebedee (the boss-eyed tomato on springs!).. and Dillon (cool, man) and Ermentrude the cow.
Then there was Andy Pandy.. I always had doubts when he jumped in the box with Loopey Loo at the end of the program and Teddy jumped in between them and the lid closed!! No wonder your generation had a dubious start, jookbeard!
Oh, the days of innocence... when childhood didn't end til your first kiss at sweet 16, eh?
