A favourite time of year...

Or perhaps longer..! A lovely and witty soundtrack from Malcolm Arnold. Listen again when the "three wise men" go frolicking over the hill. I seem to remember @neilkbrand.bsky.social is a fan.
Whistle Down the Wind, in luminous black and white, is tonight at 9pm on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social.

“Oliver was the ultimate storyteller, and when you hear him with that beautiful, brown, velvet, safe voice, it’s so enchanting.." Remembering Oliver Postgate, born #OTD in 1925, with Bagpuss musician Sandra Kerr: www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/bag... and Pogles' Wood: www.radiotimes.com/tv/comedy/po...
🙏
"It wasn’t just that they were so popular, but there was a gloss and perfection about everything they did that inspired reverence in every quarter..." The Two Ronnies began #OTD 55 years ago. I sought the views of writer David Renwick in 2021: www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertain... Photos: Don Smith.
Wishing Valerie Singleton a very happy birthday. Photographed in her early Blue Peter days by @radiotimes.bsky.social, and taking part in a recent project paying homage to the golden age of children's television. You can read about it here: www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/bag...
You could watch Pigeon Street #OTD 40 years ago. A colourful and musical "soap opera for the under-fives", the show was enjoyed by grown-ups, too. @radiotimes.bsky.social photographed designer Alan Rogers and animator Peter Lang back in 1981, when the show first launched.
The forest folk who enchanted a generation... @radiotimes.bsky.social celebrates Pogles' Wood at 60... today! www.radiotimes.com/tv/comedy/po...

5 Cabo da Roca – "the end of the world"
Yes, once it moved past the events of P&P and became its own thing, I enjoyed it a lot more. A superb production, and as you say, Ella Bruccoleri is wonderful.
