More of an orchestra than a band, I'd say. I'd forgotten all about this, but of course it all comes flooding back. I particularly remember the cats playing oboes, for some reason!
I never say no to milkshake. Favourite kids' programme of a all time though and the video I bought (not yesterday) didn't have Alberto. Ta very much...
I read on wiki that only 5 episodes of alberto still existed - plus this one! I've seen the remaining ones, gutted as I remember a great one when he and the band had to play to help someone called oliver roliver accross a tightrope - looks like that was one that the bbc wiped! Although I do have it on audio tape somewhere - could be the only one left in existence!
If these were in the middle of Bod, surely they were contained within the full bod episodes. Why would they have been seperate.? Must have been a pain to broadcast, having to play another reel of tape everytime.? Also, no milkshake in this episode, what went wrong.!
The cartoon and these sequences were all compiled into one presentation on one videotape. And it's those videotapes that the BBC wiped. What remained were VHS copies of the animation films only.
'Strawberry said the elephants' I was trying to show my teenage kids that the elephants always chose strawberry but I can't find the evidence to prove it
I love the laconic bass clarinet to introduce Aunt Flo, and Derek Grifiths yodelling for the postman! :D
Thanks for this. I believe it came on the end of the episode called Bod & The Cake.
Dirty frog, demanding a "milkshake" for his favours...
great find......anyone found more lost episodes...thanks for uploading it..
Fantastic! He loved his milkshakes!
Love the funky Derek Grifiths vocals! But I seem to remember you had to guess what flavour milkshake Alberto Frog was drinking??
:/

Animal band do all the hard work, and the blooming frog gets the milkshake.
Charmingly simple television. Sometimes less is more, especially when it comes to young kids shows. It's a real shame the BBC wiped most of these.

this makes me cry for my childhood
This was on when I first started school back in 1978...
Anyone know the band orchestra music? (At the end after William Tell)
beautiful.

Tenuous rhyming!
I can't believe she said "What a puff!"
Times where we where'nt so politically correct
@niches01 Let me know if you upload the audio.
Unusual for Alberto not to have a milkshake 🤔
Oliver Rolliver - that's the one I REALLY want to see again!
Shame the narrator's so patronising - Bod reader John Le Mesurier recognised children are people the same as adults and spoke to them no differently!
Why would the BBC destroy a load of these. We paid for them!!!
This was part of 'Bod and the cake'
'Strawberry said the elephants' I was trying to show my teenage kids that the elephants always chose strawberry but I can't find the evidence to prove it
@lurchskin sure will do!
No...?
04:47 What a puff.
