  • Oh my god. When I was a kid I was so enraptured with this song, and this exiting scenario in general. You've just brought back a piece of the magic of being a child. Thank you. 

  • This is my mama....telling me her stories. xo love you mama

  • omfg.....memories!

  • Wow I never realized that Miriam Stockley sang this... I have listened in awe when she sings Karl Jenkins' 'Adiemus', now I know what a truly wonderful and unique voice she has...

    Wonderful child-hood memories and of reading these captivating stories to my own children.. *sighs*

    Thanks for posting this lovely reminder of times gone by @Zoromes, you have made me smile a teary smile..

    Best regards and wishes from Wales .. :0)x

  • wow...this brings back alot... i still have the VHS on this...

  • remember watching this episode as a kid :D

  • thumbs up if this brings back memmories from when you were little

  • Hard to believe its 20 years now since this first appeared on our screens. Premiered on BBC one around teatime on Easter Sunday (April 19) 1992.

    I don't if it was translated into other languages to the amount that was done with Animals of Farthing Wood but I do remember S4C showing it in Welsh.

    Great programme though and Niamh Cusack from Heartbeat portrait Beatrix Potter so well :-)

  • @djonshore

    Hard to believe she's Irish, she does a decent English accent.

  • I wish all the world was like this.. <3

  • I wish all the world was like this.. <3

  • how many afternoons i spent listerning to this music emerge from the TV set i couldn't say i am now an adult and i still remember and love those afternoons of listening to the stories of peter rabbit and jamima puddle duck i loved them all thank you for reminding me of them

  • This is the most beautiful song. I love Beatrix Potter so much, the books and the videos. This brings back so many memories. I really wish England was still like it was back in those times..

  • Locking a door from the outside. I can unlock a door with a folk, I bet she can't do that.

  • this song makes me feel so nostalgic! :)

  • She mailed the story to that sick 5 year old kid I think...

  • This makes me so nostalgic!

  • :(

    

  • Oh, God... I've missed you, childhood memories :'D

  • :O *cries in joy*

  • I love this song *0*

  • Today I found a book about the tale of Benjamin bunny, and after I read it I remembered when I was a little boy and used to watch the movie of that book. The memories of my childhood left a tear in my eye. :)

  • My childhood... I used to wish live like that...

  • Oh my God! My childhood just flashed infront of me...

  • This song always makes me cry :')

  • wow its exactly how i remember it! I loved this so much :')

  • this brought back so many good memories :)

  • aaawwwwwww :") oh childhood how i miss you <3

  • @littleangel9001 I never want a child to go through some of the experiences I have.

  • @underoathuea "I never want a child to go through some of the experiences I have". That's more a reason to have children. By providing them things that you have never been able to have in your own life, their happiness becomes your happiness. Children are a gift, not a burden. They are our future, after all.

  • My childhood is right there.......... ^_^

  • yay! i'm glad i'm not the only one who let a few tears slip hearing this song again. thanks mum for introducing me to this wonderful show/song and helping me make all those memories...

  • Yeah just like everyone else, this song makes me cry!! I used to love watching this! Aw

  • I love this. At first I heard it all my childhood memories came into my head and I could remember everything. That's why I love it so much. It reminds me of the days nothing were unpossible, and everything was perfect, just like the title of the song. Every day was perfect.

  • I remember how surprised I was by this song many years ago

  • I love this song and the film!

  • Amo esta música....

  • wow I really like this song

  • Im so happy to see that Im not the only one who remembers this song and movie. I miss my childhood. =(

  • I HAD this movie. Well one of the movies. So beautiful and it really takes me back.

  • I'd never seen it before, it's beautiful and deserves to be a part of child's memories.

  • miss this show so much, espically on a rainy day :)

  • @fistbravo So true!

  • I don't want to grow up.

  • Just had a bit of a sob fest to this song it always gets me going!

  • When I listen to this I get that breathless feeling of wanting to be small again and I start crying :'(

  • I only remembered this song today because it started raining, and I can't believe I forgot about it! I haven't even thought of it in like, over 6 years. >.<

  • I was there :).

  • My childhood is returning to me and begging for me to go back to it! Such a pretty song, that haunted me when I heard it at a young age!

  • Oh, how I love this song... And of course, these tales, they're a part of my childhood. Ah, the sweet nostalgic sting..

  • I don't want kids. but if i ever do, I will play this series to them. can you get this on dvd?

  • @underoathuea I have it on video, so I bet you can get it on dvd, try itunes :). don't listen to all these people who tell you, that you should want kids. It's your choice, it's your body, who are they to criticise. We're not in the 19th century anymore people, it is not a woman's sole purpose to churn out offspring. You be happy and have a good life.

  • @rachaellillybetwyatt I am a guy, but thanks. 

  • @underoathuea XD ahahahaha lol. My bad XD OMG LOL!!! lolololololololololololol! Very sorry for confussling your gender :P

  • @rachaellillybetwyatt haha. don't worry. I don't have ovaries but I appreciate you concern and defense of my female rights nevertheless.

  • @underoathuea I have it on DVD. I bought it a couple years ago and it sold as a box set. So long as the license didn't run out on the company that was distributing it it should still be available.

  • @underoathuea Yes! Barnes and Nobel has a complete set for around 20 some odd dollars. (Knows because she just bought one..) :D

  • @underoathuea Well, I'm not sure, but you can download this on keepvid.com Just paste this video's link onto the place and click a download method.

  • I really missed wathcing the Peter Rabbit film on VHS. That rabbit was one of my favourite childhood memories... but now my brain is entirly rotten and taken over by constant CGI, blood & gore, rock & roll and violence. It's nice to listen to that good ol' song again.

  • This was aired on a perfect sunday after a morning rain in my hometown when I was around 10-11 years old. I still remember that day.

  • this is absolutely fantastic, I'd forgotten this!

  • I can't believe I still remember this <3

    It feels like is was just yesterday I was sitting on my bed watching this. :'D

  • This is my childhood... I love english 19-20th century countryside, I love this song!

    Greatings from Poland! :)

  • @peetter84 Greetings. Hey contact me on talga_v89@y7mail.com...if you want a penpal from Australia =)

  • There is a such thing as going back in time. I just did thru this song.

  • MEMORIES!!

  • I love this song but it always reminds me of my 3 rabbits that died and so it always makes me cry :'( I think it's also because I used to cry whenever Peter Rabbit finished when I was little too!

  • Nunca vou esquecer essa música!Linda!

  • I still watch this, and this has to be one of the greatest films of all time. Just the passion in which she sings makes you want to hear this. And the stories it's self is just amazing. Move over Justin Bieber, Salena Gomez, Lady Gaga, exc... there's a new song that needs to be heard and sung. Long reign Peter Rabbit!

  • ah i love this!!! i watched it every day when i was eight!!!!!!

  • in all seriousness, how are there dislikes!

  • Ok this is the show of which I spoke oh my gosh i love this!

  • i think that rabbit knows more than he's letting on

  • finally found it! this is the first 10 years of my childhood. Watched the noruegian version though.

  • I watched this Norwegian dubbed though xD

  • OMG!! I remember this! This made me cryy T-T

  • I love this show. I always watched when I was a child. I will definately somehow find dvd version and watch it all over again! Can't wait!

  • wot time is the sotry set in?

  • ik keek dit altijd haha zo mooi!

  • i must have watched this when i was 3 or so years old.

    i want this :(

    it's been more than fifteen years!

  • I remember watching those old Beatrix Potter shows on VHS. Still have them. I wonder if there are some DVD versions, not that I'd ever part with my old VHS's. Too much sentimental value.

  • I love hearing this song... I remember when I used to watch Peter Rabbit, I still have the really old tape!

  • Goodness...I too have been looking for the name of this show and I couldnt think of the exact title. And all along it was called Peter Rabbit! Oh the childhood memeories just keep coming back! :) I also remember this on YTV!

  • So you all can sing along:) Perfect Day The rain has moved on And left a new day Nothing seems to move everything is still It's just a perfect day The shadows and light That move with the wind Hidden violets grow splashed with summer spray Just another perfect day On the wild and misty hillside Fear is nature's warning Hunger here is never far away And all of this world Is for children who play Days that never end always should remain Another perfect day
  • OOOOOOOH MYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!

    Ive been looking for this tv show/song since i saw it as a kid!!!! Thats freakin 10 years!!!!!! AND I NEVER FORGOT THIS SONG!!!!

  • always loved it! <3

  • I Love the Beatrix Potter story's on DVD and i love this song to i always cry a little bit brings back my childhood and its such a pretty and innocent song :)

  • One of my favouritre film versions, so sweet ♥

    And I loved this song as a child... I love to play it on the piano :)

  • I used to listen to this every night before bed when I was young. This made me cry. I miss being young so badly. This song tells of a time before we lost our innocence- where the small things mattered.

  • childhood memories!

  • I remember owning the Peter Rabbit soundtrack. It was the only CD I owned and I was, like, 6. I miss those days.

  • Aw, good childhood memories. What happened to the good ol' series for children? As a child, I used to love this intro. I am so glad to find this again. :)

  • Is this the same, whee is some woman who gives letter to young boy, that he could bring it to te post.

  • @namairu  yes it is the same

  • oh my god this takes me back to when i was about 5 years old :') i love it!

  • Niamh Cusack..... she was in the first and original series of 'Heartbeat'

  • The woman looks like a female clone of Gene Wilder.

  • Thanks

  • OMG! This so is so pretty! Peter Rabbit was one of my favorites when I was little. Recognized the song immediately.

  • I have this series on DVD for my kids to watch. It is, by far, MY favorite movie for them to watch. I love to listen to it. If I get depressed or lonely, listening to this song, and the movies themselves, gives me an "all's right with the world" feeling. I have no idea why. And why have I never heard of Miriam Stockley before? She has a lovely voice!

  • @hopsgirl74 My grandma has this series on video and I used to watch it when I was little. What is the name of the series?

  • I loved this when I was little and I still love it now, so nostalgic! <3

    Thanks so much! <3

  • Today in english i mentioned that i <3 ed this show, and my english teacher admited that she would turn on the tv more for herself, than for her kids, to watch this show! We both agreed that this song and the opening are so beautiful! SUCH a BEAUTIFUL show!

  • I rememer the old version:P

    We are not alone

  • This brings back sooo many memorise, i use to love this show!!

    and i use to love that song!!! so amazing!! i <3 it..

  • I used to watch this movie when I was a kid:)

    Then I received a rabbit of my own, and named it PeterXD

  • I always wanted to live in english countryside like this or like one in the postman Pat ^^ And I love Miriam's voice. It's so out-of-this world

  • i remember this when i was little i listen to it

  • Certainly gives me happy childhood flashbacks of watching Peter Rabbit and Friends on VHS.. Nice to see it does the same for so many others. :)

  • This is the one from 1987 right?

  • I guess I'm apart of a big group that remembers this song from their childhood. This song is really a comfort thing for me now...

  • After years of searching, i finally found this :) Now, while I was watching this cartoon after more than 15 years, I realized when I was first time impressed... at the age of 3, watching this cartoon. I remember the song was soo beautiful and strange at the same time... so emotional... I think this cartoon took a part of my heart, and still lives with me... and now, when i play this video again, I think I'm 3 again :')

  • Sweden here! When I was around 7-8 years old I used to watch this serie and I loved it. This brings back such memories... Thank you :)

  • I used to watch these videos all the time when I was little, I just found the set in my garage and watched them all for christmas, just for the nostalgia value... oh my. Such precious memories. Thank you so much :)

  • Wow this song....my childohood memories, slowly dissappeared like the way the children ran off into the distance....

    I used to love this song when I watched it on my VHS tapes and, even now I rate it top!!!!

  • I'am brazilian, I love Perfect Day - Miriam Stockley - Peter Rabbit Video

  • Holy Crap...my childhood! I loved this song!

  • I used to watch this when i was little....I loved thi so much..i wish i was little again

  • YES!! I found it, I heard this song and I remembered hearing it when i was young but I didn't know where from until now

  • You know is because of these 1 or 3 downvoters that we can never have anything nice :(

  • OMG!!! That song just gave me goosebumps such a nostalgic childhood memory :O

  • having heard this for the first time in over 10 years made me break down and cry for about 15 mins...such an emotional attatchment to stuff like this, no-one should ever forget their childhood and their memories, no matter what they are.

  • @crackers250 u put tears in my eyes ur words cut deeper than any blade could wt u say is very true. never forget the magic of things lke this in ur child hood u dont have it half as much as u should when u grow up :) :)

  • @crackers250 same thing has just happened here, broke down and cried like a baby, so glad to hear of someone else doing the same! Beatrix Potter was an amazing woman and her tales are so imaginative...

    We all need to be like Peter Pan :D

  • @crackers250 i agree. i'm 24 years old and from Denmark and this just takes me back. i have not seen this since i was a kid. It's Amazing

  • @crackers250 It always makes me cry too, haha!

  • @crackers250 I went to the Beatrix Potter museum in Gloucester last month and this was playing on a VHS / TV. I sat there for about 40 minutes watching, hugging the huge Peter Rabbit they have there. My friends thought I was weirder than before and left to go to the pub! haha The women who work there said I wasn't the first 20 -something year old to do that! I miss these!! :(

  • @crackers250

    My thoughts exactly... One of my earliest memories is watching this before going to preschool, this song was stuck in my head, I thought it was beautiful as a little kid. Over 15 years later finally tracking this down again... Wow, I still think its beautiful, always will.

  • i used to watch this when I was like 4, 5 ? On YTV, immense nostalgic feelings right now.

  • i used to fall asleep to this when i was little...now i'm 16. it still relaxes me and makes me happy <33

  • assistia direto quando passava na tv educativa achama massa a musica só que

    parte da mulher falando era dublado como tambem todo o seriado

  • Ahh.. the memories!! :)

  • I used to love this show as a kid. Ahh...Nostalgia.

  • I think it's because when I was little I always used to cry when Peter Rabbit finished as I loved it so much and now even though I'm nearly 17 it still makes me cry!

  • i used to watch that when i was a kid :3 i kinda miss it<3

  • memories of rainy days (thats what I envisige of perfect) with my family all cosy and safe in our house.

  • I used to LOVE this show when I was younger!

  • Aww I love Peter Rabbit! This song always makes me cry so much, but it's so lovely!

  • I'm as hard-nosed as they come, but have just cried at this...

  • @peterlinie3 I was practically blubbering! Haha! It really gets me!

  • Thank you very much! I was looking for this song since I was 7 years old, but the only thing I could remember was this sweet melody. Finally I've found it! =)

  • @BornBeFree LOL I feel for you. I've been searching this song for years too haha. So glad i found it as. So many fond memories of my chidhood

  • @Urbanfire123 still it is impossible for me to find something like in that case, to remember just a melody without name or singer and "something about a rabbit" =)

  • @BornBeFree Yeh I typed rabbit in google, and thanks to the new technology that puts suggestions on, I saw "peter rabbit". That kinda clicked into me. From there, wikipedia was all I needed to find the song name

  • Peter Rabbit is still awesome....

  • this brings back so many memories, i remember watching this when i was 8 years old now im 18, i was searching for this after yesterday morning around 8am I woke up and saw a white rabbit hopping around in my backyard, it was so gentle and calm, the beauty of lfe

  • A wonderful ending with the beautiful song "A Perfect Day" by Miriam Stockley...I love this series and bought it recently for me...55 yr old me! I admire Beatrix Potter so much...! Never tire of her story or this song!

  • hidden vally ranch hidden vally ranch thats what i thought it said

  • Belay my last comment - the smallpipes have a different sound to them entirely! Agree with SeanOfenton.

  • They could well be Northumbrian smallpipes.

  • I LOVED this show when I was little but the whipping scene with peter and benjamin I still find pretty disturbing

  • i love it number!!

    and i love peter rabbit ♥

  • Oh, memories<3

  • good stuff for kids, much better than kids tv these days, am i right ?

  • can`t watch this without choking up lol.
