Re: Please Jog My Memory

Guys, thank you so much It was Cockle Shell Bay. This was in the dark depths of my mind and popped up randomly in a dream. Freaked me out a bit as I was in 'Cockle Shell Bay'. Wonder what else is lurking back there.

thanks loads people and have a great weekend. I shall be recommending this site.

You're welcome, Viciousemu. It was a great favourite of mine, too. I guess there are much worse shows to dream about being in.

BTW, several episodes on YouTube:

Rosie & Jim from Cockleshell Bay and Ben Gun the seagull. Me and my boys loved the tv and the books - we still have a set which I bought from M&S.

'Oh come with me to the rolling sea where the weather's calm and still...' does sound a bit like Portland Bill, but I could be wrong. Memory of it is a bit hazy.

Cockleshell Bay actually started out as a story segment on Rainbow before it became a series in its own right.

I had a dream last night that I was in a childrens tv show. Until this dream prompted me to remember I had completely forgotten about it. I have since had a chat with some friends of my age (early 30's) and they too recal vague memories of it but not the name. I guess it must have been screened early to mid 80's. Itbwas set in a small village by the sea (perhaps a fishing town/port) they was a seagul with a personality and a fisherman in an old fisherman's cap with a very curly (not too long) blonde beard and a horizontally striped blue and White top. He may have smoked a pipe. There were children I think and most importantly it was shot usung stop animation much like fireman Sam/Postman Pat.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Lee.
