Windy Miller Gets Hammered

Hello!

Its been a funny old day today and i got to thinking about last year i did a silly thing to make me feel better cos i was ill with leg and facial swellings...
Okay...Here goes, me being 42 when i was a kiddie i used to watch what i call proper good kids programmes not all this stupid In The Night Garden or Teletubbies (say eh-oh..ninky nonky....)? One of the ones i used to love was Trumpton and Camberwick Green. So at Asda i couldnt resist it, it was a pricely sum of £4.00 a dvd, i wanted cheering up, it were cheap n cheerful therefore seeming a likely medicinal purchase.
I watched it and was re-acquainting myself with Pugh, Pugh Barnie McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb, plus Windy Miller and Mrs Honeyman with baby, i was blissfully back to being aged 5 and happy as owt!! One episode however took me by surprise...When Farmer Bell goes to get some corn he talks to Windy and in the process Windy offers him some cider, which Farmer Bell declines as he is driving...Old Windy decides to tuck in promptly has too much, ending up pissed as a newt...The guys from Pippin Fort come along and waken him up but he is groggy as hell!!
Okay its total piffle to some people reading this but i never ever knew my childhood programmes were like this, i thought it was all sweetness and light....I cant believe they got away with ever letting this episode on air but am glad to have found it later in life!!! It made me laugh like hell and nearly choked on my juice......

Does anyone out there remember a cartoon series called (I think) King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. I think it was on in thje early 70s, I used to love it, I have never seen it repeated anywhere and I know I am not imagining it 'cos Mr DD used to love it too. Sir Lancelot (least I think it was him) would sort of whistle on the word 'Sire'.

For the modern age however, it has to be Shawn the Sheep - now we are talking class! I love it. (excellent one last week, they were all on springs!) DD
