Seeing this sort of thing really tugs at my heartstrings. The music cuts me in half. I was born in1965 and its amazing how familiar it all is as soon as I see it again after nearly 50 years. Things we take for granted now were an event back then somehow, these days we are swamped with so much choice it all becomes meaningless. Thankfully technology lets us remind ourselves how lucky we were.......
I agree, today we're the inundated with choice, 99% of which is crass, ugly, pointless drivel. I was born the same year as you were and I believe that the limits we had on tv, and technology gave us more freedom to play, to innovate, imagine and create. One only has to look at the state of the arts, at music and how bad movies are today, to see the deficit that the omnipresence of choice and technology has created. As I age, I find myself looking back more and more at my childhood, and at the more innocent times we lived in then.
I totally agree with you 💯 I was born in 1955 so I was 15 when this was shown I'm the same, continually looking back to years gone by there's hardly anything that I like about the present day 😔 the late 60S and early 70S were a wonderful time 😊❤❤❤
Same - I was born in 1966 and it's this music that takes me right back to much simpler days. This, together with 'Ivor the Engine' used to be my favourite programmes. 'Saudade' - a deep emotional state of nostalgic longing - things were so different then. Is it normal to feel this as we get older?

@@stevebowness9435 yes, awful times in more ways than one.

Love this, reminds me of my childhood, always made me feel happy, looks so basic compared to today’s programmes. But still evokes fond memories of being at home with mum. In my 50s, but still watching feeling nostalgic for simpler times.
I think the older we get we seem to tend back to our child hood days i am to in my 50's as well it just feels me with the happy times when for me life was always a new and exciting day and the older you get the more you miss them times as that can never be cherished again
The bit where Midge sits on Mungo`s nose to call the elevator has stayed with me all my life, accompanied by the flute playing down the scale as it descends. Wow. Simple times that are all but completely gone now. Richard Baker`s voice was very soothing to a child`s ears, and what lovely English pronunciation! Oh, can I still say that? Anyway, thanks for posting this bit of charming nostalgia.
I'm sorry for your loss..I have fairly recently,loss mine..but it's still very raw,and I find myself unable to watch certain things on the telly,or listen 🎶 to a song or piece of music without the tears 😢 rolling down my face..But I do know what you mean,especially when I have been doing a lot of reruns (some in my head)..It can give you a warm,comforting feeling back to a time when you could heal a'booboo'with a hug and a kiss 💋 xx
@@lindabird2866 i hope you’re okay linda i remember this and still have both my parents but i never take things for granted :) such happy memorie i actually remember this episode!
God I watch this as 8 yr old it was part of watch with mother me thinks on bbc1 at lunchtimes around 1 30pm when programmes were quality! not the lunchtime rubbish we get now!! loose women judge rinder and all those antique programmes !!! anyone agree!!!
I was born in 1965 so I am 50 years old now, 51 in December 2016. I remember this well and I wish I could go back to those times in 1969 when this program was made I was 4 years old then and life was great. This was 1969 but the 1970's as well were the best years of my life. These were the days long before mobile phones were invented. All you see now is people walking along the streets like brain dead zombies staring at their mobile phones. I mentioned mobile phones as a reference to how much times have changed.
you are so right.....i-phones are destroying this world that we once knew! 9-14-65 here, but just discovered this program today, via Shindig magazine. grew up in middle America watching Scooby-Doo non-stop, but would've loved this one as well! 1970 was a REAL good year man....Cheers!
such beautiful memories from my childhood it had tears of much missed happiness from my childhood, like many others I'd be back there in a split second never to be seen again.
I remember watching this with my mum I am 56 now mum passed away 5 yrs ago with Alzeheimers. I loved my childhood days they were great. I loved Mary Mungo and Midge.
As so many have already said, seeing this little gem brought a tear to the eye. I can remember watching this from my sick bed, on a little TV my late father put in my bedroom. I was suffering genuine flu at the time, which lasted over three weeks. It was a different and somewhat gentler world back then. The biggest worry you probably had was ‘would there jam for tea’ I’m sixty two years old now and I still miss me Dad, and I still miss my ‘jam for tea’ Be happy😊
I’m 59. When I was a lot younger I remember watching this episode one summers day. I was at home with a plaster cast on my foot. Life was simpler then. Thanks for posting these wonderful videos.
Yea I was also born in 1965 and those days were so nice and innocent. It is a pity you couldn't just go back... even for a little time. My big sister Mary was obviously Mary, I was Mungo and my little brother Alan was midge :)
God that music takes you right back to being six in 1974 and a whole world ahead. It drives much younger colleagues crazy when we get into a lift together & I always say " We must make sure the lift door is shut"
"We must make sure the lift door is shut" which is something you have to do with manually operated lift door, yet it shows an automatic electrically operated lift door. I have to wonder if it was intentional or a small goof in the production?
I still find shows & cartoons from the 70s it does remind me how life was so much easier before we start losing love one’s & family has we get older but having my own children it’s like reliving abit of our childhood again 🙏
The comments from good people here are precious. These aren't my memories but I respect the love I'm seeing here for Mary, Mungo and Midge. The World which this cartoon describes is so alluring.
Fondly remembered and deserves to be so. I wonder what interpretation could be put on Midge's dream. His flute is obviously his most prized possession.
What a wonderful period in ones life. I was born in the year of (1965) so I grew up with such children programs. Nostalgia at its best!😊 However, it's so sad at times just to listen to music that for sure does pull at your heartstrings just like the above comment from Zeddyboy! Coming home from school for ones dinner, watching programs like Trumpton, Camberwick Green, Chigley, Mr Ben, Hickory House, Pipkins, The Woodentops, and so many more. Then you'd finish school and be surrounded by "Blue Peter,"The Tomorrow People,Crown Court at dinner, Jackanory , Playschool and so much more.The programs were utterly delightful unlike todays trash, just like the music also.😡😡😡 50 years of sheer greatness and enjoyment of watching such wonderful programs. "Why does it have to change?"I hope everyone has a most wonderful day.😊😊😊😊
In a weird way, without the rubbish of today we'd also take these shows for granted, or maybe not feel as much toward them if that was all there was... There's a special magic in seeing these old shows :)
I was terrified of this show when I was a kid, but at the same time strangely compelled by it. There was something about this style of animation that really spooked me, same as Captain Pugwash. And I didn't like the way the characters popped up behind the flower box at the start. So every Sunday morning, I used to pull my dad out of bed at 7am and insist that he come watch it with me. He'd stagger into the living room all bleary eyed and turn the TV on, then 5 minutes into the show would look around to find that I was nowhere to be seen - the flower box scene had invariably spooked me to the point where I'd ran back to bed and hid under the covers. And there was my dad, at 7am, half asleep, wondering what in the hell he was doing watching Mary Mungo and Midge again.
I found it was paced a bit too slow for me, but it came on when I was a bit older so maybe that was the problem, I think my grand-daughter might like it.
Richard Baker (BBC News Presenter) as narrator and can remember watching this with my mum (I was born 1965). I seem to remember the "Elevator" to be central to most of the storylines... Luv the theme tune, it's unforgettable and the animation is certainly of its time which makes it even more tangible when I look back on things!
the theme tune was composed by Johnny Pearson who composed other great tv themes..ie all creatures great and small and remember Owen md with nigel stock!!
I was looking for the music recently, and found the Mini Suite on YT, but I'm sure there was another version - in 3 and with Swingle Singers-type voices. I must be dreaming things...
As a kid and ever since I've wondered why they had to make sure the lift door shut after them.... and what would they do if it didn't? Never mind the big bang, string theory, and millions spent on the Large Hadron Collider, THAT's puzzled me for 40 years and we still don't have the answer! LOL
I used to live in a block of flats where the lift door would sometimes not shut properly, that prevented the lift from moving so people would have to walk down to, or up to, the floor where the lift was stuck and shut the door properly.
I'm 25, my mum showed me this as a kid and I adored it. Watched it as I fell asleep and always enjoyed the scene of one episode where Midge makes potato stamps! The music is brilliant too. Really cute nostalgic feelings
Thanks, it was a pleasure watching all of these although I didn't play this one last, which is what should have happened. This episode is almost as weird as the Pink Panther's "Psychedelic Pink" episode. The kids looked at each other and at me and their mother during the dream sequence!
I ABSOLUTLY ADORE CLASSIC KIDS TV TAKES ME BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN KIDS TV WAS FANTASTIC AWSOME NOT LIKE TODAYS KIS TV IT IS FUCKEN CRAP TOTLE UTTER CRAP AND THANK YOU POSTING MARY MUNGO AND MIDGE BRILLIANT THANK YOU AGAIN
Funny though, in this one you can see that the dashboard of the car is a bit crazy. Steering wheel on the right but the speedometer is on the left. All the driver has in front of him is the glove compartment ha!
Now this one is really interesting. I was so young at the time this was on I scarcely remember it, except for the music, which was later recycled by an American animated version of Aesop's Fables. And you can see why - the music is absolutely brilliant and enchanting. Also, the non-stop motion animation is mesmerising to watch for someone a little familiar with animation. Almost all the animation is created by moving the drawings over the background in real time; John Ryan had clearly, over the years perfected this technique after he first developed it for Captain Pugwash.
OH MY I remember as a child watching Where have those 50+years gone Much simpler, happier times when TV was just the BBC and ATV When the BBC and ATV were at the top of their game. Yes entertainment has moved on and so it should but I feel children are made to grow up much quicker. 🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧👍 ❤️❤️👍 👍 👍 😃😃

Did you enjoy his reports from Vietnam?

You're right, it's the seminal moment that's a constant, I hadn't thought about it that way...
I'm still watching this at 62 years old.
Can’t blame you.
what? you mean on youtube> we all are!!
59 myself 😅
5 years on are you still with us john??
My dad died recently, watched this to take me back

Eh? We do! Only I presume you’re a bit bigger now.
Watching with a tear in my eye. Not seen it since I was a little kid.
Yes it does that to you

The great thing about UA-cam is that you can travel back in time to your childhood ...

That is true.

I used to watch this with my Gran when i was a tot.Brings back fond memories too.
A great blast from the past...I was born in 1970 so grew up watching this, Bagpuss, Pipkins etc etc happy days 😊
This is my childhood
Mary mungo and midge
Hectors house
The herbs
Those where the days
such beautiful memories from my childhood it had tears of much missed happiness from my childhood, like many others I'd be back there in a split second never to be seen again.
brings back happy memories of when I was a small boy...lovely days
reminds me of coming home from school and the house being full of brothers and sisters. Sadly not all here now

To think, when this series was first aired, a very small percentage of viewers would have been able to afford the luxury of watching it in colour.
brings back happy memories of my childhood, I'm 52 now! 😄

How beautiful is this? The opening and end credits take me to my own coney island.
R.I.P.Richard baker, 17,11,18..the wonderful narrator for Mary,mungo and midge..
I was born in 1962, my brother in 1960, we loved this, in fact we found it fascinating.
It has brought tears to my eyes, nice tears ❤
Beautiful memories from a wonderful past.
I used to love this brings bk great memories, Just sad they've gone, 1970s,Im now 46...yikes
So good to see so many people reminiscing over this ❤ I loved this show growing up
It was one of my favourites 😊
The mystery is solved! I missed the end of this episode when I was little, and have always wondered what happened.
still enjoyed it after 50 yr :) very trippy all that dreaming
The comments from good people here are precious. These aren't my memories but I respect the love I'm seeing here for Mary, Mungo and Midge. The World which this cartoon describes is so alluring.
l remember this every sun morning loved it going back a few yrs now
yes it's the wonderful Richard baker narrating!!
loved this programme growing up
My childhood memories as MM and M was a
'Watch With Mother' feature.
Fondly remembered and deserves to be so. I wonder what interpretation could be put on Midge's dream. His flute is obviously his most prized possession.
The music from this is wonderful.
Back when my life started , born 1968. Back when UA-cam started for me in 2008.
Love it, great childhood memories! Must get the DVD to go with my collection of old shows!
Remember this with a big smile on my face. I was 4 when this was shown.
Grew up watching this, lovely innocent times,wish i could go back to them times
P.S I had Mary Mungo and Midge wallpaper in my bedroom !😁

I remembered that scene in the lift. I was born in Dec 67 so I would have watched repeats. It brings back memories.
This prog might possibly be my earliest TV memory. And that naughty Midge NEVER waited for the lift door to close. I loved him! Awh :)
Im 15 and this was my childhood
cried when i saw barnaby the bear i was trying to sing it to my 31yr old son he just laughed. life defenatly hasnt got better for kids entertainment
Such lovely innocent times... gone forever 😢
The end theme takes me all the way back to when I was four. Very comforting.
the theme tune was composed by Johnny Pearson who composed other great tv themes..ie all creatures great and small and remember Owen md with nigel stock!!
I was looking for the music recently, and found the Mini Suite on YT, but I'm sure there was another version - in 3 and with Swingle Singers-type voices. I must be dreaming things...
What a cute cartoon! 😻
Love this the music is beautiful and I am 60 tomorrow
I am a *1990s* teenager.. And this is FAB
Take a bagful of nostalgia and add a glugg of melancholy...and a sixty year old returns to moment in his life where innocence was a blessing...
Man I loved M,M &M , such a great prog
So glad I could find this. Happy memories of the 1970s!
Sounds like one time BBC newsreader Richard Baker doing the narration.
he is the narrator
Still as good as when first shown. Brilliant programme. 👏👏👏👏

This was my favourite Watch with Mother. I rated this far above Camberwick Green and the Woodentops in 1971, and I still do today.
I ABSOLUTLY ADORE CLASSIC KIDS TV TAKES ME BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN KIDS TV WAS FANTASTIC AWSOME NOT LIKE TODAYS KIS TV IT IS FUCKEN CRAP TOTLE UTTER CRAP AND THANK YOU POSTING MARY MUNGO AND MIDGE BRILLIANT THANK YOU AGAIN
It's that 60's graphic design, that pulls you back to them days.
My brother won a Mereythought Midge in a colouring competition and kept him.for years.
Does he still have it?
Such a wonderful time. No technology as such and as a young child life was great
This and Mr Benn bring back wonderful childhood memories.
Watching with my little grand daughter, she is loving it..
Funny though, in this one you can see that the dashboard of the car is a bit crazy. Steering wheel on the right but the speedometer is on the left. All the driver has in front of him is the glove compartment ha!
Minis had the speedo in the centre, so it's not quite so crazy.
Wow over 350k views, didn’t realise so popular. Great children’s tv. I watched some of this back in the better days
Now this one is really interesting. I was so young at the time this was on I scarcely remember it, except for the music, which was later recycled by an American animated version of Aesop's Fables.

Mary....Doreen ,Mungo.....Glenn,and Midge....Lorraine. when we lived in high rise flats in Drumoyne.lol
OH MY
I remember as a child watching
Where have those 50+years gone
Much simpler, happier times when TV was just the BBC and ATV
When the BBC and ATV were at the top of their game.
Yes entertainment has moved on and so it should but I feel children are made to grow up much quicker.
🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧👍 ❤️❤️👍 👍 👍 😃😃
Midge has been on the 'shrooms again!!
or fermented cheese😂
Midge was mischievous like Sweep , Ioved both programs and both Midge and Sweep
I love the music it brings back so many memories. And the lift💗
Oml my childhood ;^; I loved this
Memories, such pleasant memories .
Midge had a great dream. Needs to avoid certain mushrooms in the future.
Remember Watching these in 1969 aged 7.
