Surrealism for beginners. I loved Vision On as a kid as it was a bit, okay more than a bit bloody weird, sometimes to the point of being frightening. The digger always reminded me of a mole. Tony Hart was a bona fide genius, no arguing about that. The show was originally made so that deaf kids could enjoy it too, which is why Pat Keysell 'signed' all the dialogue, and why most, if not all the inserts were 'silent'. Just thought you'd like to know.
Nice! Used to watch this as a kid in New Zealand. I haven't seen this in close to 30 years but I remembered the music to the note. Thanks for the upload mate.
Here is a good web site about Vision On

@brianartillery Hi, Glad you liked Vision On, the program was made for deaf children but all children (even adults) enjoyed it.

The soundtrack is 'Elephant Dance' (for bass harmonica) by Harry Pitch.

I agree

I agree. Monty Python used to freak me out and so did Vision On. There is something Pythonesque about this film.

I thought it was just me. As a kid this sequence freaked me out as did the weird spring creature animation. Still one of my fave programs though.
