      Reminds me of the British entertainment, that you see, on English, WWII movies! I wonder what those
      older, 1950's Brits. would think of the U.K. today? I don't think that they would recognize it, anymore!

    I went with my daughter and granddaughter to watch Sooty live a couple of years ago. Richard Cadell who works for Sooty, pointed out that most parents were really there for themselves. We all agreed. Including my daughter and myself 😄
    He still says " bye bye everybody, bye bye "
    This brought a tear to this granddad's eye😊

      It's a pity about the Flower Pot Men. They caused a scandal after they began to make obscene gestures to the camera and even sexually assaulted Little Weed. Had to be taken off the air as a consequence.

    Blimey! I've owned around 2 twin tub washing machines in my 20s and as a child my mother's twin tub was the envy of the street as it had an agitator for washing and a spinner in the same unit. If you owned an electric spinner unit on its own you were well off. Mom used to wash by hand and use the spinner. I recall it took mom all weekend to do the family laundry.

    Some time between 1957 and 1964 BBC television gave a play, if i remember correctly once a week. I cannot remember what the programme was called. I remember seeing a play by a Spanish playwright whose name escapes me. At the start of the play the stage looks like a luxury hotel where everyone except one person seems happy. As the play proceeds one thing after another disappears for them. At the end of the play it becomes obvious they were living in illusion for there are guards and the place looks like a prison. It must have been about Spain under Franco.Perhaps someone knows the one I am looking for. I have been unable to find it on the internet for it is impossible nowadays to make exact searches to search what you yourself want to find or eliminate completely irrelevant pages foisted on the searcher, or the books offered to buy.

    Your episode of ''Picture Book'' is not 1950s. It was probably 1963 (as shown on the videotape). Shame the end of the Woodentops was cut off. Spoil a mood! And it was not on BBC 1 - there was no BBC 2 until 1964, as you surely know. I guess they replayed it at some point later, but must they always mash everything up with new titles, etc.?
