Twizzle 195010/26/2022 Next - A Boy's world - Adventure - More TV Films and Comics The theme tune was all about being naughty The exemplar of "Naughty" was Sooty who every episode did something awful to Harry Corbett while Sweep stood silently by. In this world Boys were expected to be naughty - not bad but naughty. It was understood that we as children lived in a world of imagination and of play. If you long to be reminded of Muffin the Mule, Andy Pandy and Bill and Ben (I was never a big fan of the Wooden Tops) then go to this wonderful site that has everything to take you back including video and songs.Īt this time my favourite was Bill and Ben.Ībove all I recall the feeling of innocence and how precious childhood was. The underlying assumption was that every child would have an adult with them. Millions of children sat down at the same time and we all watched the same shows. Now when everything is available all the time to anyone at any time, it is hard to imagine the great cultural coming together in England at the advent of TV. I think that we got our first TV in 1956 when I was 6 and Di was 4. At 6 there was the news and we would go to bed. There was an hour of children's programming from 5-6pm. Listen with Mother always began with the warning - "Are you sitting comfortably children?" There was a pause and we would respond "Yes" (I could never understand how they heard me but I was sure that they did) "Now we will begin." It followed on from their Radio format "Listen with Mother". This is how the BBC introduced Children's Tv in the 1950's.
