Thames children's producer Pamela Lonsdale devised this seminal show, held in high esteem by people of a certain age, with a theme by Fraser, Portnow and Thomas that takes you right back to the nursery. But what's all this? Who's that bloke? And that's not the Bungle I remember! Here we have the original titles on episode one (tx: 16/10/1972), presented by David Cook. The clip also features the original and, frankly, rather spooky-looking Bungle as played by John Leeson, later to become famous as the voice of K9.
