  • Excellent stuff, with the indefatigable Vicky Ireland.

  • I had to look up 'indefatigable'. Clearly this programme had a better effect on you than it did on me :)

  • I was In ''reception class'' aged 5 in 1989 and VIVIDLY remember watching this throught Infant school and loved it to bits, it's not on this episode, which nonetheless is brilliant but the magic pencil was the highlight of the programme where we would finger draw a letter of the alphabet as magic pencil wrote on the black background. - thankyou!

  • You're welcome! And I remember that pencil, too - with the glowing light on the top. I have more episodes of this already - I'll see if I can get around to putting them up this weekend!
