That witch scared me to death!!

I was a bit too young to remember this but I was always called woodgnome as a kid by my family....they still call me woodgnome to this day and I'm 55...😂

Hi chris!

I was the editor of this!

Was that the 200 year old piece of Tibetan cheese Simon famously bought for £1000 in a sotheby's auction? He made headlines across the world at the time iirc. They apparently only intended to spend a few hundred but a rival bidder from a French cheese museum kept trying to outbid them pushing the price up. Hilarious show. Sadly ruined by over zealous itc finger waggers and the ITV region (stv) who oversaw production pushing the original producers out through an insistence of making a series of dreadful changes - which resulted in much of the original cast of characters leaving after the Christmas break in series 2 (including Simon).. Series three was almost a complete format change. The wolves and Baljit were the only remaining puppet characters - voiced by different actors lacking the comic timing and chemistry of the original actors. Yvette ultimately left during the midway point of the following series without explanation... The original format and lineup was classic Saturday morning tv .

Yvette lost her composure after Casies rice pudding quip. That show was very mucky! No wonder they apparently attracted so much attention from tv regulators! Haha.

This was one of my favourite Kids tv shows in the 60s 😊

Absolutely brilliant thanks for this memory, can you imagine this on the tv😮 😅

So scary still remember over half a century later😮 😂

Fanx🎉

The very first show I remember seeing on TV. On an old second hand set my mum got us.

Paulus the forest gnome(Paulus de Boskabouter) is a Dutch text comic series and children's book series, written and drawn from 1946 to 1984 by Jean Dulieu, a pseudonym of Jan van Oort, He drew the first Paulus comic strip in Het Vrije Volk a newspaper in 1946. The series quickly became a success and was also published in book form. A radio radio play series and a television puppet series followed later. The booklets were translated into serval languages. From 1955 to 1964 Paulus the forest gnome was broadcast as a radio play. Dulieu did all the voices himself, From 1967 onwards, Dulieu made 39 Paulus de Boskabouter puppet films of 10 minute for the Dutch NTS (Nederlandse Televisie Stichting) program Monitor. For this he made all the puppets, sets and attributes himself. were also broadcast in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada and Australia I was a little...a little...very afraid of Eucalypta the witch when it was broadcast in black and white television in 1967 nightmare, wetting the bed and looking under the bed Oehoeboeroe the owl was also scary, And still today when i see Eucalypta i get the shivers

Wow that owl sure looks like Dennis Healy lol

This witch detroyed my life l9l

The old witch reminds me of my first wife 😬

we had such a laugh back then not sure how we got away with it...best days of my career..

Oh I've found it ....used to watch this as a kid 🥰

Transports me right back to my childhood

I watched this as a tiny girl. Thanks for the memory. It's amazing to see the only surviving episode

these were the best tv days of my life. rehearsals on the Friday were hilarious ....

Remember watching this as a kid and being totally freaked out by the witch 😱🧙🏼‍♀

i loved working on this show the rehearsals on the Friday before were hilarious. best live tv days of my life...

I’ve asked a question, on the subject of a cartoon I remember was shown on this, and no one’s responded. I said, it definitely wasn’t ‘Gravedale High’. Whatever it was called, it would have to be a Warner Bros. animated series, for it to be shown on this (and, I reiterate, I definitely didn’t just dream of this show - it definitely did exist - I used to see it on Saturday mornings, on ITV, in 1993, although would have to be the Saturdays from the 2nd of January to the 1st of May, as the latter was the last Saturday of 1993, pre-September, ‘What’s Up Doc’ was shown) [and, BTW, I did already say I’m not the same as shermanvermin76].

Imagine if today you had a children's program where the main character Smoked a pipe

Did Spike Milligan do the voice of Paulus?🤣🤣🤣

Glad I found this, the theme has been in my head for years………at least 55!!! Does sound like the genius Sir Spike Milligan…..

This is of course a Maidstone Production and Maidstone is famous for loving humour that upsets your mum!

These two puppeteers went on to do Live and Kicking. And playing the Hyenas in Ministry of Mayhem.

Maximus GITTUS. Why did the producers pass that?

The producers resigned after a series and a half after they refused to tone the humour down.

Sandy Ross Head of Scottish Television didn't.

This show is a weird fever dream.

One of my earliest memories of tv. Great to see. Always remembered the theme tune

I remember this no one else I no remembers it scared shit out of me I was about 4 or 5 wen I watched it lol it was brilliany

The instant that music starts a shiver goes down my spine. Eukalypta's jaw - and her flying towards you - nothing has ever been so scary. I must have been about 3 when this was on TV in the UK. Each episode, from what I remember, used to be Eukalypta chasing Paulus, with Paulus not taking it seriously and probably me shouting "She's coming!!" at the TV. 54 years ago yet I remember this so clearly.

Just terrible, as bad and ridiculous as when I first saw it as an 8 year old. Not sure why there is nostalgia for this.

This whole film though is longer than the combined footage there was of the Wolves interacting with the shows host.

That was fabulous 👌

Great times. Modern tv wouldn't have the balls to put a show like this on as we have become such a politically correct nation.

The Tortoise was terrifying as a kid lol

I’m still looking for that scene where Pat Sharp is stuck in an elevator with a lot of the puppet cast; including the wolves. One of them farts and Pat yells “I said think, not stink! Who did that!?”.

Didn’t they ban this ? Very scary from memory , creepy looking puppets

Born in 67 I remember this aged around 4-5 for years old many years later I thought it was called Boris the Bole or some thing like that nice to have found it again around 2018

I remember this series from 1969. The last time I listened to it before today was 22nd December 1969. Mixed emotions listening to it again.

I have loved this since I first saw it 6 years ago, and it is still one of my favorite Little Shows. I wish there were more episodes in English, but I'm grateful to have this one!

Memories

I was scared as a child of the witch and I’m now nearly 60 and still freaked out by the witch no one I know remembers this on Uk tv

No wonder life in Britain is so depressing

This is amazing, thank you! So, this was the only one made? Also are there any stories you can share working with him? Thanks.

This used to give me nightmares when I was a toddler.
