Bill and Ben - Icicles

iancarter.tv - A wintry episode of my childhood favourites, Bill and Ben, the Flower Pot Men.
This went out on air on 23rd December, 1953, when my younger brother was just 3 days old!
(I bet I watched this episode of "Watch with Mother", even though my mother was in hospital!)

This brings back nice memories. We could see the strings but it didn't matter. Imagination is what counts. All the kids loved these puppets back then.

Do you remember "Tales of Rubovia"? Impossible to find these days.

Great post Ian.The memories of my childhood are reawakened watching stuff like this.Its far to easy to forget that we were all children once.

Is it just me or in every episode Slowcoach is in, he is weirdly nodding his head? XD

[@IanCarter50]

I remember Slowcoach nodding all the time -- v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y -- but then, if he didn't, how would we know he was awake -- or even alive?
