We don't mind the Black Faces BUT, please, the use of "it's" for "its" (and vice versa) that we tend to see everywhere nowadays are ... schocking!! :-)
I would of been all of nine years old. Saturday evening after bath time, Mum and Dad would of been watching this while I'd be at the dining table with my brother doing another Airfix model. It's funny how you come to appreciate the entertainment back then looking at what's been on offer for the last 2-3 decades. How things have certainly regressed to unimaginable depths.

The use of "it's" for "its" -- and vice versa -- is far more shocking ... than the Black Faces in those old Tv shows! :-) ;-)

Wonderful family entertainment. Just need mum wheeling in the evening sandwiches, snacks and trifle on a trolly.
Is this lipped synced? Sounds to smooth?
Poor Peter Kaye has been severely chopped from this presentation - only 19 seconds when he introduces the movie music.
Yes, In the episodes I have left he only appears in two of them where he has a bit more screentime, he's gone by December 1970.
