pogles wood

[arburgirl]

does anyone remember the kiddies programme "pogles wood ? "I never see any repeats of it on the tv, maybe my memories of it were great but it could have been so bad that no one wants to repeat it. I was bor in 1961 si it must have been early 60's

[tonymclark]

Yes, remember it well.

Episodes of "Pogle's Wood" and the rarely seen first series, "The Pogles" ( with the Witch ) are available on DVD from the Dragon's Friendly Society.

I used to like Tog - was he a rabbit or a squirrel? I know I wanted a pet like him.

ah Pogles Wood - that brings back memories.
I used to love watching Pogles Wood, and the Woodentops!
Now I am showing my age!

I used to LOVE Pogles Wood! Along with Joe (from the Transport Cafe), The Woodentops, Bizzy Lizzy, and Andy Pandy. I used to have a video of Pogles Wood which I lent to someone and never got back. Maybe I'll have to get the DVD!

[tonymclark]

Spudqueen, you are in luck, the same episodes of Pogle's Wood ( and more ) are on the DVD as were on the video tape.

Some episodes of Joe were also available on DVD.

I would love to see Bizzy Lizzy again, the marionette version, rather than its first incarnation as cut-out animation as part of Picture Book.

just looked at that web site(tonymclark) I think I'm going back into my second childhood now with all these memories flooding back of my "little friends" on tv (yes I was a lonely child !)

[arburgirl]

Just remembered a little book I had as a child, it was Andy Pandy and the willow tree - but I used to wind my mother up something rotten by insisting on calling it Andy Pandy and the dirty willow tree - I used to really emphasize the "dirty". Mum could never work out where I'd got that from. My other favourites were the Janet & John books at school. Anyone remember them ?

[tonymclark]

Yes, I remember the Janet and John books too. In fact, my mum bought copies so that I had them at home.
