Re: help needed on childrens program name

are you sure it is and the things i do come true???
found this

SIMON IN THE LAND OF CHALK DRAWINGS (1977)
THAMES

BOG-STANDARD CARTOON kid makes with the "special" chalk to create a magical black-background world of his own. Overshadowed at the time by the similar JAMIE AND THE MAGIC TORCH, perhaps because chalk drawings are not as interesting as a unicycling policeman.
TV CREAM immortality rating -
..."WELL YOU KNOW MY NAME IS SIMON, AND THE THINGS I DRAW COME TRUE"
