Quote from: Make me smile on October 25, 2004, 08:00:13 PMThis is probably the right thread to state my claim to fame that I once spoke to Pob on the phone Cats and dogs make for unusual bedfellows - especially if you've ever read the Beano where they're constantly at each other's throats - but they can actually get on like a house on fire as evidenced in Mop and Smiff. Created by musician/actor/all round nice bloke Mike Amatt, Mop and Smiff was a 13 episode series produced by BBC Manchester which mixed animation and live action. And who directed it? Well, surprisingly, it was Sid Waddell aka the voice of BBC darts coverage for many years. A young Halle Berry, Simon Bates, Corey Feldman (or Dirk Benedict) and Helen Mirren I'm sure weren't too hard to get, but fair play to the casting director for bagging Geoffrey from Rainbow.

I recall having to go to bed before it finished (my brother revealed the ending to me the next day) and there being general parental concern about it being very disturbing, even though it was pretty harmless stuff. Turns out it's an episode of Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense episode from 1984 called 'Child's Play', directed by classic British SF/horror director Val Guest! The whole things on YouTube: Both series of Zokko! mix animations such as clips from Fantasia or in house BBC animations where bouffant haired chaps tell incredibly corny gags. Specially shot music videos are also a crucial part of Zokko!, so we get treated to visual interpretations of contemporary pop songs such as Finchley Central by The New Vaudeville Band and special guests appear in the studio each week to perform a spectacle for the viewers be it Ali Bongo and his magic or The Tumblairs and their amazing trampoline.

She published several collections of poems, starting with Rain (1946), which was dedicated to her brother, killed in the war, and, for children, A Book of Rhymes (1947). Her last collection of children’s poems, Horses of the Moon, was published online in 2021.Granddad' is one of my earliest afternoon children's TV memories, possibly due to the Clive Dunn connection and my dad having the song on some old record somewhere. When I first came to look up about the series when the internet was still quite a new thing, I was surprised to learn that A) it didn't use the 'Grandad' song, and B) it actually wasn't released at around the same time as the song (in my mind it was an older programme that was being repeated when I had seen it).

I think it may have been made by the makers of "Ragdolly Anna" (I know - it was the Teletubbies creator behind that show, wasn't it?)... Anyway, the show was about, I believe, a monkey made out of pyjamas who came to life (along with the toys) in some kid's bedroom when the kid wasn't there?? It was a puppet show - that's all I know. It reminded me also a bit of Button Moon and some of the puppeteer segments they used on Rainbow now & again...

Jonny Briggs (Richard Holian) is a young lad living in Yorkshire (although the books were set in Middlesbrough) with his Mam (Jane Lowe), Dad (Leslie Schofield), older sister Rita (Sue Devaney) and brothers Albert (Tommy Robinson) and Humphrey (Jeremy Austin). Together with his pal Pam (Georgina Lane), Jonny finds himself constantly at odds with the twins Ginny and Josie, falling down cellars, trying to keep tabs on his dog Razzle and, perhaps most excitingly, flying a kite whilst trying to avoid a water balloon battle. Almost a kitchen sink drama thanks to its working class, Northern sensibilities, Jonny Briggs is quite unlike any of its contemporaries.
