hello, long time no post, i am bad at this blogging lark, so i do appologise.
rather different from my useual work, but i was feeling nostalgic and remembered an odd program i used to watch, called 'the brollys'. having rewatched a couple of episodes on youtube it is very much slower and odder than i remembered, but that's nostalger for you!
anyway, here is harry with his toys elepant and hippo, dreaming away under the
embroydered weather quilt, sleep well!
This is really lovely :) I used to watch The Brollys too but had completely forgotten about it!
ReplyDeleteark, i hadn't notice that you'd commented! thank you :) it's weired when something from so long ago pops back into your brain!
DeletexXx
This is absolutely beautiful. I remember The Brollys and I really wish that they'd release it on DVD. There are episodes that I haven't seen and can't find.
ReplyDeleteI suppose you're always biased in favour of the programmes you watched as a child but I do look back at things like The Brollys and think "Yes. This comes from a time when raw magic and imagination were mixed in with the drawings."
But anyway, so glad to see that The Brollys hasn't been forgotten by everyone. :)
thank you, i'm glad you like it =^__^= maybe they'll put it on dvd one day! i love old childrens programs, my favourite is noggin the nogg, if you've ever seen that? :)
DeleteI'm sorry, I'm unforgivably late in replying to you.
DeleteI'd never heard of Noggin the Nog, but I just had a quick look on YouTube. I love the drawing style.
I'm going to have a look at a couple of episodes, who cares if I'm an adult. I honestly would take classic children's TV over most of what's on offer these days.
no problem, as you can see from the timing of this reply, it's not like i check my messages on her properly, just found it by chance a second ago :P
Deleteit's a really lovely style and the music and the narration is wonderful, and they use propper english rather than dumming down. there's one bit i remember where they use the word 'vexed'! i'm guessing it's probably the first place i ever heard it!
