I used to watch it, but can't remember too much apart from the kangaroo puppet and that it was a pretty bizarre setup!<br /><br />I've gone through all the tapes now!

It's like it was anticipating each part of the intro animation before it arrived, and the kite titles at the end topped it off. I thought I remembered all the kids TV I watched in my youth, but there's always something waiting to surprise me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415241527510295802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901944301852919470.post-114787900783443972017-03-26T17:09:28.594+01:002017-03-26T17:09:28.594+01:00A bit about Richard Bowering https://translate.goo...A bit about Richard Bowering https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=cy&u=http://news.bbc.co.uk/welsh/hi/newsid_9490000/newsid_9495800/9495877.stm&prev=search<br />https://forum.julianhainesbowls.uk/showthread.php?27052-Richard-Bowering-Brecon-BC-Powys-S-Wales&p=1268669Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901944301852919470.post-21034890425535133372017-03-25T14:17:09.722+00:002017-03-25T14:17:09.722+00:00Allsorts!

He went on to do Radio Roo on CBBC didn't he? With the over-the-kiddies-heads naming of Derek and Clive (at least, I hope it was an intentional homage to Cook and Moore) Keep up the good work Ben, this stuff is fascinating!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569732807130090838noreply@blogger.com
