The Great Cornholio
New member
Just seen this torrent of kid's TV programme from the mid to late 70s and wondered how many people would remember. Rainbow and Jamie are probably givens but Pipkins was one of my favourites and I remember Itsy and Bitsy as well and I do remember hating Potty Time - not sure Goon humour transfers to 5 year olds.

Gnome Sweet Gnome
When someone leaves a large box of things for the shop, Hartley looks inside to find 4 gnomes. He doesn't know what they are, so he asks Johnny who tells him that they are gnomes. Soon, the gang visit a workshop that makes gnomes and learn all about how they're made. The only question they have now is where will the gnomes in the shop go? After some discussion, they all decide that it will be best to put them in the garden next to the flowers.
This episode was recovered from a domestic recording.
