ahhh yes .... a radlio ...... 'orrible noisy things .... and what about Boney? And the Purple-Pimple-Popping?! Shocked

I loved these episopdes and Willie Ruston's voiceovers were brilliant! I've got a couple of videos of them from a five or six years ago and my son would watch them over and over and over again, so I got to know several of them almost word perfect. LOLOL Roll Eyes

I've also got a few episodes on video of another great series whih you may or may not have heard of ...
'Tales of Broomstick Cottage' .... they're about an elderly chap called Mr Bobbin who has moved into Broomstick Cottage and two 'locals' called Dabble and Son ... oh and a magic cat called Sponge .... and from the accents it's set somewhere in the Black Country.
I think they are very funny and some of the humour is quite sly. Wink
I tried to find out if there was a video made of just this series as the ones I have are scattered over two or three different kids vids and I'd love to be able to view them altogether. I wonder if they've been put onto DVD?
I'll have to run a search to see! Wink
