bizzy lizzy

Does anyone remember the Watch with Mother programme called Bizzy Lizzy about a girl with a magic flower on her dress. Her friend was called Little Mo

[spudqueen]

I used to LOVE that programme. Her friend was an eskimo doll and her magic flower gave her (I think it was 3) wishes a day. Her first wish was always that Little Mo would come to life. She would always wish more wishes than she was allowed and then everything would go back to how it was before, so Little Mo was once again an eskimo doll.

Do you also remember Joes Cafe? About a little boy who lived in a transport cafe!

4 episodes of the second series of "Joe" are out on DVD.

I too loved Bizzy Lizzy. There is an early incarnation of the show on an edition of Picture Book ( on a BBC Watch With Mother video tape ), but that was cut-out animation. Few people seem to remember the marionette version.

A comic strip of the show appeared in TV Toyland or Pippin.

Joe's cafe was great, a little sad if I remember.  Joe had big, round, brown eyes.

I'm also trying to find someone who remembers Topo Gigio who was a puppet of a mouse.

Ah memories! Yep, I remember all of the above, but had forgotten Joe until you mentioned it. Personally I loved Noggin the Nog (it wasn't illegal then!!!) with the aptly named baddie, Nogbad the Bad!

justineo, there is a region 1 DVD of Topo Gigio's appearences on the Ed Sullivan show available on Amazon US.

If you can speak Spanish, there are 3 or 4 DVD volumes of his Mexican shows.
