I've been watching the stuff about kid's tv on BBC4 this week. So it was appropriate that I saw Keith Chegwin nearly getting hit by a car on Tottenham court Road this week. I thought he'd be interviewed at some point in the series, which would explain his presence in that par tof London, but he did not appear.
There were a lot of ommissions in the series, even among my favourites, plenty of programmes just got ignored: 'Mary Mungo and Midge', 'The Herbs', 'Henry's Cat', 'Ludwig', 'Hector's House', 'Paddington Bear', 'Will O the Wisp', etc. Did 'Magpie' get ignored because it was ITV's challenge to the untouchable Blue Peter?
This is my main blog - it's been going since 2004. It was originally my personal diary but has expanded to something more sophisticated, thanks to Blogger. Most articles on this site are unfinished and remain so. I am trying very very hard to change this! I have a sidebar on the right - please scroll down - full great web sites, articles, podcasts, etc. The tone of this blog is mostly unfocussed, and long may it remain so...
