I'm and colourising all 6 episodes in the series, so please come back for more!
"Comprising six episodes of nine minutes each, The Pogles set the scene for the sequel series entitled Pogles' Wood. Besides its focus on the titular family, the original series is especially distinguished from the later series by its appearances of the Witch, a mysterious and evil shape-changing character, and the tone of the episodes was regarded as sinister. After initially broadcasting it, the BBC considered it "too frightening" for its proposed inclusion in Watch with Mother, intended to be viewed by a very young audience, and advised Oliver Postgate to make all future episodes revolve around more everyday countryside matters. To reinforce these changes, the title of the show was changed. (Wikipedia)
I loved this programme when I was little. Brings back so many memories of watching this with my mum
I don't think i will ever go out my front door again Iain.I am going to sit here and re live my childhood
all over again.This series could not be narrated by anyone else but our Oliver Postgate .Thanks for episode 2,looking fwd to episode3.
Absolute magic
"Isn't beech nut milk good enough for you, wife?"
Mr Pogle was 50 years ahead of his time with the milk, but maybe a bit behind the times in always referring to his spouse as "wife"!😂
As a child in the early 1970s, I loved Pogles' Wood and was sad that it was never shown again after the mid-1970s. Great to see it in colour after all these years; thank you for the upload!
I was 7yrs old when watched The Pogles and never realised until watched this video Pipin ( hopefully correct ) was found in the Plants flower!! Fabulous memories of a younger better times, looking forward to next episode's. Thank you for taking the time to re do these amazing programmes!!
That's great to hear Peter! Yes, younger better times, I know what you mean. I can't believe I missed out on Pogles Wood altogether. As a now 59 year old, I'd have thought this would have been in my era too. Not surprising that we missed this original series though. If you didn't catch it in 1965, you would never have the chance to see it on TV again.
Thanks Iain, another gripping tale!
Oh well, that was Episode 2... So I'm now on witch watch, I believe. I suppose I'll easily know what time she's on. I just listen for her broomstick... 😉
