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

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!!

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.

@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

bit from Pipkins?

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

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
