An ITV schools programme "Picture Box", presented by Alan Rothwell.

I agree with kempie - the theme music had a "carousel"-type feel to it, and sounded like someone running a wet finger on a wine glass rim. I think it was a storytelling-and-documentary programme for schoolkids.

The programme you refer to is as mentioned above titled 'Picture Box' however the presenter was Paul Johnes, you may or not know this, but he was also the lead singer in Manfred Man..

I also say Picture Box, which I remember was indeed presented by Alan Rothwell, and

agrees.

Paul Jones may have done it as well; he did do some children's TV presenting
