Singing Ringing Tree Goldfish

[ginger8172]

I bought this from amazon, I have watched it three times so far.....loved it as a small child and still do!

[gnash555]

The dwarf flying into the pit at the end stayed in my mind for 40-odd years!

[leedsboy64]

thankyou for this i am 47 years old and think about it often it was so bloody scary and its great to know many people thought the same the dwarf was made for nightmares

[Irishrogue61mak3]

I'm 50 now and I still hate that dwarf. Although if I seen him on street I'd throw a stick at him and run away. He's soooo bloody scary..!!

[m00nshine2004]

Oh my god. I thought all my mental problems were due to a repressed memory about being sexually abused as a child. Turns out I wasn't. IT WAS THIS!!!

[spacemagick]

It's just not the same in beautiful crisp garish colour - it should be fuzzy monochrome 405 lines for true nostalgia. :)

[SFCReib]

I really love this one. Thanks for being there singing ringing tree. Up the blues. Down the midgets. Am I allowed to say midget? Oh well I've said it now. How is everyone?

[SpyWhoLovedHimself]

LOL this is terrifying

[nightmale1]

Loved this as a 5year old in Scotland,now 45years later i think i still do!

[MintlaTeuchter]

For the past 39 years my sleep has been haunted by images of dwarfs, bridges, bears, goldfishes and fires and over dubbed narratives. At last I can make sense of it!

[assaidsly]

Holy crap! A vague memory of terror softened only slightly by colour. The exorcist et al has nothing on this.

[iceonaboy]

I thought she was still nice when she was meant to be a minger!

[garryentropy]

like a common dream for fifty year olds

[wallycarrfan]

This was such a creepy but compelling series!

[johnbarry1965]

I bet she never won that goldfish at the fair,they usually died after a week!!!!!!

[britishpolitics1]

this is real life about everday goldfish

[ohcrob]

I was terrified of this!

[TK42138]

I don't know about you but this giant goldfish and the dwarf scared me silly watching this as a kid. The BBC put loads of these dubbed European tv shows on in the mid 70's.

[canturgan]

Really nice colour palette.

[Scoobyschwarzter]

East German Communist propaganda

[Robertgregormcgregor]

I remember this as being in Black and white - first time I've seen it in colour - and wondered what had happened, then realised that we had a black and white tv in those days!

[ArtOfAvalon]

This is an old children's piece of film from a time when geniuses of the media world would teach our children with good moral education that parents could trust - it might be German or Eastern European, and they may also have been biosed against aging, ginger haired midgets but all the same the child is taught to attract inner beauty via good outwardly deeds. Nice model of the fish too - a golden age of the media! :) Jx

[HOMEnHIGH]

shes hot...shame about the manly voice...

[headcans]

Yep i remeber this from the early seventies - along with Golden Hair and that freaky version of Beauty and the beast - but the original is in Czech right?

[smileandwave1987]

Special effects have CERTAINLY made headway! I remember it well. Nightmarish.

[wellohmeeeeeee]

I am looking for the name of a TV programme or possibly a film shown on British TV , 1968ish - 1974ish A dress or wedding dress in a tall glass case in a rear corner of a Victorian old ladies bedroom or parlour, she is sitting on a sofa in the foreground, and warns a young girl who is admiring the dress or wedding dress, in the tall case "not to open the case" .

But the girl does secretly, behind the old lady, - the dress dramatically falls to pieces

[keenymeeny2]

I thought I was Halucinating.......but NO I did watch this....

[Hobgobblin1962]

ive been trying for years to remember what this was called, fab, i loved it when it was on in the summer holidays,

thanks very much

[darowlandsuk]

This used to scare the S**t out of me !

Looks like another bout of therapy is due !!!

Thought I had buried this !

[iamearthbornami]

i used to really love watching this on tele when i was a young one- it was truly fabulous

[cherryblossom15736]

wtf germany????



[micraman112]

THIS IS NOW AVAILABLE FROM NETWORK DVD. PRICE £10.20. OR ON AMAZON.UK . PRICE £8.99

[The99Gambo]

This scared us kids, albeit in B & W!

[MrBex1964]

the snow queen it was from norway or somewere

[rhyfelwrDuw]

@MrBex1964 They're speaking German...

[0613kath]

This used to scare the living daylights out of me when I was little. The dwarf was horrible. Can't believe I have found this clip, if I rememeber the tree only appeared rarely. I remember it in black and white too. Took me back to coming home from school, watching this in front of a roaring fire, waiting for my tea...

[shweet0161]

god - it wasn't a childhood nightmare after all.

[williamkanegateshead]

Marvellous. Happy days, when I was very young. Thank you for posting. 

[CJOKUSAP]

@ 2.41 that fish looks to be enjoying her ministrations way too much!

[pipdoodler]

What?! This is in colour. I never missed a b&W episode of this all those many years ago. And to think I thought the bear wasa real bear- well, I was 15 at the time?

[hearditman]

@pipdoodler They dont make 15 year olds like you anymore. You thought the bear was real!!!!!!! Most 15 year olds to-day are raising a family.

[pipdoodler]

@hearditman Okay, okay, maybe I was 14. Whatever age? It doesn't matter. I'm still sure that bear's a real bear. Now, where's my porridge?

[hearditman]

@pipdoodler I think Goldilocks ate it....

[bunnyleah]

I have faint memories of this, but had no idea what it was called. That dwarf was scary! Thanks for the upload, glad to know this was a real programme, and not just a weird dream! lol

[theagg]

@bunnyleah Memory is a strange thing but yes indeed, you were not dreaming, it was real. In fact, it was surreal !

[FoolOfGods]

The budget for this had to be all of at least 3 quid, 10 and sixpence ha'penny ... even then thta was frugal!! 2:11 has to be an unintentional prescient 'shape of things to come' moment - seas full of solid crud, mutant fish that can understand post-war German actors & enjoy love ... a man dressed up (in a badly fitting costume) as a smallish philosophizing Fozzy Bear and a princess who indulges in a rather weird make over courtesy of a constantly annoyed/frustrated dwarf. Such happy days

[1440nell]

Thank you, i am 55 now and you have made my day. :-)

[awnok]

I remember this, but not in colour. In our area we didn't get colour until 1977.

Happy memories. Thanks for posting.

[stevobath]

Dwarfs been on the BONG!

[ziggsstar]

I have been looking for a clip of this TV show for years on youtube. As a child, it fascinated and scared me in equal measures. The dwarf flying about always used to freak me out! Thanks so much for the upload.
