What ever happened to childrens telly!!


Recommended Posts

Does anyone remember "Whirligig" in the early fifties with Humphrey Lestock (HL) and Mexican Pete. None of my friends do - have I imagined it all?

 

No 1066 you've not imagined it, it did exist. Billy Bean who built a Funny Machine was another character on that programme. His friend was called Yoo-Hoo the cuckoo. First broadcast in 1953. I still remember the signature tune and the opening few lines of the song associated with the programme. Funny how some things stick, isn't it?
