POLKA DOT DOOR - TREASURE DAY [DENIS SIMPSON] (1980) ⏱🐱‍🐉💥

A very short opening clip to a 1980 episode of PDD featuring Denis Simpson. Sadly the tape cut out just as it was getting good!
Retrontario’s primary mission is the preservation, research and exhibition of rare videotape recordings (1970s to 1990s) recorded off of any and all Ontario (and surrounding area) TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. We also hope to create an ongoing oral history of this content through comments left below the videos. Please add to this evolving history, if you know more information pertaining to the clips, fondly remember them or have a modern thought all comments are welcome! For more information on how to help in our mission please visit us at: www.retrontario...

Dennis Simpson was really one of the more underrated talents of this country. The guy virtually did everything you'd want to. He did children's programming really well with PDD but he was also really good in other areas too. He was a regular guest on the Canadian game show Acting Crazy which was basically charades on TV. Simpson also hosted a cooking show and did work on Vancouver's Breakfast TV.
Sadly he was taken from us way too soon at the age of 60 with a brain hemorrhage
