"That must of been the cheapest kids program ever made.
Jackanory was cheap too
Books cost money.
It is free to borrow a book from a library"
I once took a Jackie Collins book from the library without getting it stamped. I did however return it once I read it. |

I loved Fingerbobs. RIP Rick Jones and thanks for this quiet joy of childhood.
Michael Bentine's Potty Time was also cheap and cheerful.
Children's programmes were slower then. Looking at them now it's not easy to see why we loved them so much. I heard a radio programme about the evolution of children's television content. |
