I was terrified when Birdie went up in flames and I got the same terrifying feeling when Tottie was repeated a couple of years later, just hearing the theme brought the nightmare image back to meMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10542233069137750902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901944301852919470.post-42113757325177338492021-10-27T17:35:25.841+01:002021-10-27T17:35:25.841+01:00What doll was used to make Mr Plantagenet?

Oliver Postgate limits Tottie to a single sentence in his memoirs. <br /><br /> I saw a memorable paper about this series at a Children's Television conference at Warwick in 2015. The presenter - Michael Lawrence - tried quite a dangerous strategy. He started with a lot of personal disclosure about how he used to watch it when he was 11 despite it being a little girls' programme, how he didn't identify with boys things, and was beaten up for being effeminate, etc. After a couple of minutes of this I did start to think, "This guy is working through a lot of issues here". But by the end when he'd talked about finally getting to watch the programme again after 25 years, and realising what important memories he'd repressed, all of the stuff at the start turned out to have been really relevant.Billy Smarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11808866217501456210noreply@blogger.com
