rip tony !!!

At about the same time, I remember seeing some short films that I think the BBC used to broadcast on daytime TV. I'd be really interested in hearing from anyone who had recollections of these films. The first was a silent art film shot at the Themis solar furnace at Odeillo in the Pyrenees. The other was of a strange mechanical sculpture in a european public park. I'd really like to hear from anyone who knows anything about these films. I can be reached at paulr1234@yahoo.com.

wow that music...I've had it in my head for years and now I remember where I heard it

[Dristarg]

0:15 That 'pow' sound still makes me smile.

[shanie119]

shit at best.

[snapperxv]

Does anyone have the clock ( its time for the story)

bit from Pipkins?

[luciremagazine]

For a programme for the deaf, the music was great.

[saperlol]

I used to love this programme; seeing it now brings back so many happy memories. Looking at it again, there's an enormous amount of work and talent that went into making this programme.

I don't think we realised how good TV was then...

Sadly both of these wonderful people from my TV childhood have died in the last year, television was a limited experience for 60s kids in the UK, but Vision On, all the while encompassing output to kids of differing abilities, gave us a window on art that nobody else did. I can't draw but my art appreciation certainly started here. R.I.P. Tony Hart and Pat Keysell, two more heroes gone to the Long Gallery Above

I suppose everyone knows this is an early piece of work by Aardman Animations

I moved from england to edmonton, canada in1976 . I was 7yrs old when we left and this brings back so many of my british memories. Still miss that time in my life. Eating porriage for breakfast and wearing a uniform at st. andrews school in rochester, kent. I love england!!

@MrZippytoo

Well said.

[wildenfree]

God that bird used to piss me off when I was 10....Still does.!

[wildenfree]

Oh lighten up..it was only a joke

[rabsmiff]

BRAW STUFF!

[applecounty]

Right! Once we have sorted the banking system, perhaps Mr Thompson of the Beeb could be asked (Ever so politely) to start making childrens progs like this one again. Perhaps we could suggest that it may go some way toward reducing knife crime or something? The really clever people at the beeb, the ones with the 'wow look at me!' BA's an Phd's should be mde to listen to us Licence fee payers.

[mrjugger]

do you have to use such words, kids might be viewing this vid..

[krakenwave]

Think of the children!

[TheDancingCookie]

This show taught me so much about creativity - very fond memories.

[cowtippingrocks]

got any clips of the fuzzy worm>?

[TheTholianWeb]

Sadly no :(....one of earliest memories is of Sylvester McCoy chasing that thing around the gallery behind Tony Hart!!

[cowtippingrocks]

actually, someone posted a full episode from 1975. A few min. into it, the worm let loose and knocked over what they were working on and the prof. ran around like crazy.. Funny thing is, I had a vauge memory of a show that was quite silly and this thing that would fly around the room and everyone would chase after it. If it wasnt for facebook reminding me, I probably would have never remembered just what that was! Funny the distant memories that linger from childhood eh?

[domski26]

gurney slade is a village somewhere around somerset too, might be called Binegar?

[domski26]

one of my oldest memories, can't believe i've found it.

[frenzinlondon]

Wonderful Memories of Vision On and the unforgettable music and humour and the genious of Tony Hart :)

[Tracypuk]

For anyone interested in the music, this is 'Gurney Slade' by Max Harris.

Me & my girl we love each other.

@Tracypuk Major thanks, I've been trying to get a copy and was convinced it was a version of parchment farm by Mose Alison. Cheers
