Innocence

What TV shows did you watch as a kid?

Unless you lived in the UK and are over 65 you will not have heard of the children’s shows I watched as a child.

When I look back I realise how innocent we were in those days. Shows like Bill and Ben, the flower pot men and their friend Little Weed. Could you even imagine today’s toddlers watching? No special effects, just a few visible strings, added to the simplicity of the production.

Another favourite was the Wooden Tops and I can hardly keep a straight face telling you that they were a family of clothes pegs. Were the writers of children’s programmes on something in the fifties or where they just so confined to the resources they had.

However in our naivety in the fifties we loved the programmes and our favourite time was when my dad turned on the ancient black and white tv and we had 15 mins of flower pots talking to each other.

Maybe it’s time to bring them back. 😂
