Very pleased with my purchase, and Kalia enjoys it too (Rebecca isn't really 'into' telly in a big way)I wasn't too surprised to remember this, verbatim:
Underground, overground, wombling free
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we
Making good use of the things that we find
Things that the everyday folk leave behind.
But I was surprised at the number of Trumpton bits I recognise, I don't think we had videos of them, so I don't imagine I saw them more than once, but apart from the firemen's rollcall (can you complete it?), I remember a lot of the songs - or let's say I recognise them. "Roses, roses, buy my sweet roses", "Clocks are like people". Most weird.
I never saw the Clangers or Bagpuss as a child, so I discovered those at the same time as Kalia.
Great stuff.
hands up, who wants Dougal and the Blue Cat?
ReplyDeleteAnd a record player to play it on? I must admit that Dougal and the Blue Cat always seemed a bit spooky (trippy?) to me: "Blue is beautiful, blue is best. I'm blue, I'm beautiful, I'm best"
ReplyDeleteWe had the LP of Trumpton, which is probably remember the songs from.
ReplyDeleteI like Dougal and Blue Cat - was truly weird though :)
