Cheers - I'll join you.

I remember this well from the early 60's, when I'd be 10 or so, and with great affection: along with the likes of Captain Pugwash and Ivor the Engine.

WOW that takes me back to my childhood. I enjoyed watching those three programmes.  :)

Our daughters liked Captain Pugwash, the eldest had bedroom wallpaper featuring that programme. :)

I remember, 'Muffin the Mule', from those far off days, but never found it particularly entertaining.

Noggin was revived and was quite a cultish thing at the end of the 1970s. It was so charming! There are some very good Noggin the Nog books available.

Floo, why do you think that people who own mules keep them under guard in stables? There are just too many deranged people around who just like a quick muff.

Nogs have to be protected too. But it's not as if all clandestine activity is unsavoury - have you ever tried kipling?

I've thought of a new children's TV programme. It's about a sheep called "Shaggin".

I also want to develop a TV series about a frog, but I'm not sure what to call it.

Does anyone remember a BBC crime drama called, 'The Scarf', which ran for six episodes in 1959 when I was nine? My father enjoyed it, but I found it quite frightening and hide behind the sofa when the scary bits were shown.

Stuffing the turkey is quite straightforward.
