I suspect that the person had not thought it through, so just fobbed him
off.

If it never rains in toyland, how come there are toy boats?

I remember building a model railway when I was young and we had a river and
a lake. they were in fact mirrors or plastic with something stuck on the
back. I also remember designing a tunnel entrance out of cardboard cut from
a toy typewriter box as it looked a bit like stone cladding. We used a
pencil to make the sooty mark where the trains went in.

Great fun, I even electrified some of the lamp posts using pigmy lights
running off the 12v of the transformer.

I never got into magic.

Do you remember those magic sets a misguided relative always got you for
Christmas? Total Junk. Give me Radionics parts any day, build a transistor
radio, with 6Ba nuts, bolts and brass strips to connect the bits together
then learn how to line it up and get very distant stations.

I expect the teacher was trying to avoid questions about Big Ears.
I guess its good though that youngsters are able to see older tv as often
Noddy is considered very non PC and Enid Blighton a bit of a racist
according to the stuff I've read, but this is all about societal norms for
the time of course, which changes as the years pass by.

We there any women in Toyland? I don't remember any.

I was just thinking back. Were they puppets or stop motion animations, I'm
tending toward the latter.

Incidentally what do you folk make of Shawn the Sheep? No dialogue, just
sounds, However it has audio description.

I unforget watching Rag, Tag and Bobtail as I snuggled up next to mum on
the couch.
As well as not understanding why Maid Marion[1] read the Picture Book[2].
Believing Percy Thrower was "the man who worked in the garden" that Bill
and Ben had to hide from when he came back from lunch. [3]

[1] Robin Hood with Richard Greene.
[2] Watch with mother.
[3] [because 2] was followed by a gardening program.

Those kits were one of the best things Sinlcair ever did - I never
got any top up parts for mine though - instead I got a soldering iron and a

[1] I always felt that the real hero was Alan Wheatley, every week the
Sheriff of Nottingham would be knocked down by that bully Robin Hood
only to get back up the following week to again to be knocked down by
the bully.

The first time I saw Alan Rickman play the English baddy (especially to
confirm American prejudices*) he reminded me of Alan Wheatly.

*Can you imagine them allowing the movie be made with that all American
hero Bruce Willis as Hans Gruber?

The names ring vague bells but I don't think I saw them. Gerry and
Sylvia Anderson dominated my childhood TV from quite an early age - once I
got past Andy Pandy, Bill and Ben, Jackanory et al - I've seen Thunderbirds
since and it really was remarkably good compared to some of the later
children's programs (Power Rangers I'm looking your way).

The Anderson Family's shows were made, as should all children's
programmes, to appeal to the adults as well. Things the kids "got" and
things the adults "got" were not always the same, and in many cases,
both were laughing at the same jokes for different reasons.

Alan Rickman was a great Sheriff in the awful Kevin Costner film, Robin
Hood: Prince of Thieves. That's the one where they land apparently at
Dover, Robin Hood says they'll be at his father's castle in Nottingham
by nightfall, and they go there via Hadrian's Wall.

I just about unforget Supercar, then there was Fireball XL5, then
Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet (which I think was when they
moved the actuating servoes into the puppets' bodies and/or shrank the
electronics and so got the heads down to proper human proportions). Then
Joe 90 and finally the mixed live and puppet Secret Service (with
Stanley Unwin).
