Thanks Lance, you are of course right and I just think of all good childrens programmes of this type as being created by Postgate. ;)
I should have mentioned, of course, Ivor the Engine from my day :-* :-* :-* 8-) 8-)

We had the best television in the world in a lovely real wood cabinet that my mum used to polish with pride, and we treasured so much it was only on about 3 hours a day to stop it wearing out with one hour given for "Watch With Mother" in the afternoons; or was it that they didn't broadcast all the time??!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Yes, it was the latter! :D :D ;)
