Welcome back to our celebration of growing up in Britain in the 1970's and the TV we watched.
This episode brings listeners' memories of "Watch with Mother" the BBC's programmes for the under 5's. We revisit Camberwick Green, Trumpton and Chigley and discuss the linguistic legacy of Bill and Ben and the Clangers. We also consider whether Bill and Ben were the original role models for the TV show Shameless and was Oliver Postgate really Emma Thompson’s father?
