The first adaptation was shown in the early 1980s.

My favourite book as a child. I remember our teacher used to read it to us and had us in fits of laughter when he impersonated the Snargets. Happy memories!

I thought telling bone was one of Catweazles sayings! Along with electrickery.

[ugly_bob]

[ecoman]

Correct Lankeela, Telling bone & Electrickery was Catweazle
