I think I recognize that song: "I'm a Brass Band" from SWEET CHARITY. (I think...)
Curiosity Shop. One of those rare lost children's TV shows that ranks among the better-known shows CAPTAIN KANGAROO and MISTER ROGERS' NEIGHBORHOOD. In a time when witches and magic where make-believe fun and fantasy, and education was disguised as fun. (Nowadays any mention of witches and magic, and you're threatened with burning at the stake for heresy, along with your 'Harry Potter' books & videos. Sad.)
