  • Blockaboots!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tKBPl3VZXg

    I bet nearly everybody here can remember this iconic piece of children's educational TV from the 70's.

    I was very small when I saw this. Too small to understand what the programme was and what it was all about but I was entranced by those fabulous shoes. I mean you've got to admit, they are amazing . It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I came across the clip by chance and OMG! I thought I'd imagined the whole thing but there they were! Blockaboots!

    I Remember seeing this at one time.

    There was another with confectionary speakeasy owner Samuel Sweetooth "only monkey's eat bananas!'", & a good hygeine advisor whose arch enemy was called Dirty Gertie.

            I remember this really clearly! I wanted a pair of them too. Someone should have picked up the idea and made them!
            Heaven knows I'm miserable now.

              I think you are all missing the point of the program. it was about looking after your feet and to NOT buy things like Blockaboots. but at the time i wanted a pair too - why would i care if i couldnt walk when i was in my 40s

                Ha ha I know it was meant to demonstrate bad footwear but hobbling along on crumpled stumps is a small price to pay for the joy of owning blockaboots, as any stiletto-owning woman would agree

                  My wife and I quite often mention Blockaboots, in fact if somebody is wearing high shoes my wife usually refers to them as Blockaboots.

                  Great to see the youtube clip again!!!
