We watched this at junior school where the huge tv was in the hall in its cabinet and we all sat to watch, spellbound!

John Carradine had such an amazing voice!

Who narrated the cartoon

Now I see why smoking indoors was banned

Alan Rothwell is the only man who can make Donald Pleasence seem cheery and affable. "Hello. Today's story will not be about ghosts...yet. But, rather, about the price of failure, children."

"Hello..."

The tune is "Menège" (Merry-go-round) by Jacques Lasry.

Difference at its near best.

Over there 👉🏻

Aww man I loved this show. At 50+ years now...that theme just rocks.

Anyone who grew up in the seventies freaked out by sights and downs of that dark decade?

I was about 8 when this was broadcast... As if the opening titles and theme weren't eerie enough, a dark story like The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow was even more haunting still! Loved the episode / story, though

i had forgot about this program,such memorys.

Creepy af, hated hated hated

You lucky people...Tell ye that!

Love an audience of 4 😢

What could be more haunting than the combination of the weirdly drawn 1972 Sleepy Hollow cartoon narrated by horror icon John Carradine and the nightmarish Picture Box hosted by your favourite creepy school teacher, played by Alan Rothwell.

I didn't know he could go on for this long.

A comic says funny words . A comedian says words funny !

Total shite.

Is that George C Scott narrating this? It really sounds like him to me.

Creepy theme tune and a presenter that looked like he was in the gestapo😵‍💫 School was great in the 70’s and 80’s 👍

It's my childhood :)

That's the funniest thing you will ever see. Fact.

I always liked the music.

He is an excellent drummer absolutely excellent

An extremely talented comedian absolutely excellent

What an extremely talented and unique comedian

Loved getting the tv & taking my time getting it 😂

I was just watching vintage Corrie episodes from the 1960's when I noticed David Barlow. There was something vaguely familiar about him so I looked up the actor's name. When I saw that he had presented many children's programs, including this one, I found this video. Talking about metaphorically finding the key to a door that had been lock for decades.... it all came back to me... the haunting qualities of the intro that made me feel distinctly uneasy as a child, but then the warm, reassuring manner and voice of Alan Rothwell. I had totally forgotten about this program until now.

Alan Rothwell, the secret junkie married to Heather Haversham, Brookside... 🤔🤣✌️❣️🇬🇧

That terrifying music is the sound of being off school with mumps or chickenpox.

Unbelievable! He's been doing this exact same set for around 30yrs, and it's still as dementedly funny and getting laughs as ever.

Lazy teaching. Wasn't very educational and Alan was akin to Mogadon to me.

Picture box was the first schools TV programme I remember seeing in the late 60’s, when Alan Rothwell had brown hair, I loved the music and the little box.

The intro to this always reminded me of The Tales of the Unexpected.

What was the pretty, rotating box in the Picture Box start & end credits, please?

Remember when selfish pigs were allowed to smoke in enclosed public spaces? Foul selfish scum the lot of them.

Good grief. I have not seen this particular episode of Picture Box since I was a child - this ones from 1988 so I must have been off school sick, I recall I was seriously ill with some sort of vomit bug back then.... I am 44 now. I remember this animated version the story....I never really liked Picture Box, its theme tune, that glass box revolving or Alan Rothwell....I just watched it as a child whenever I was ill, or not at Primary School in the mornings - I learnt more from my Mother than I did at my Primary School which was usually bring toys in, go to the park and lark about via a chartered double decker bus or 'reading books'....thankfully my Late Mother taught me how to read and write and watched programmes like this with me....thank you Mummy...RIP.

Brings back great memories. What an enchanting tune that drew me to look for this in u tube today. 👍

Nothing like Johnny Depp though. 🤣🤣

Ikabard is clearly a nasty piece of work
