Sarah and hoppity

[cook1254]

I noticed someone mentioned catweazle ,but does anyone else remember Sarah and hoppity? He was a boy rag doll with one leg shorter than the other and used to hop down the path singing "Twiddly dee twiddly dum" ? and what about Rubovia? and Twizzle and Torchy the battery boy? Are there any other good childhood programmes from years gone by that others remember?

Sarah Brown has a toy,
As lovely can be,
And he'll start to sing
If you wind up his key. (etc...)

All good ones - also remember the Pingwings (out on DVD).

...He'll sing and he''ll dance
all over the flooor
and when he stands still
then you wind him some more
Dear old Hoppity
Lovely Hoppity
He sings Diddly Dum
and he sings Diddly Dee

Sarah Brown takes her toy
wherever she goes
he has ginger hair
and a small turned-up nose,
one leg is much shorter,
but give him the chance
and he'll show you how
he can manage to dannce

Dear old Hoppity etc.

But he still frightened the crap out of me

Is that from memory, Splodger? Impressive, if so! Bet you can't remember her dad's song?

[splodger]

Sarah's Dad's song was:

Tip tap tip tap
I'm always mending broken toys

Her Mum sang in a warbling falsetto:
When you're asleep
you're the lovliest girl in the world

...must get a life
