Kids tv show---odd---do you recall it?

I saw this when I was, oooh, not sure. Maybe around 1980's to 1990's.

It involved wind up toys as the main characters. They lived in a wood and these little wind up toys would walk through or across the grass where there was a small town, their size. The main character was a male with a head like a tomato. Red and round. You couldn't see the mechanisms that moved them btw. It may have been British, but only 70% sure on that.

It was only on once and never saw it again.

It felt disturbing to me, but wasn't meant to be. I think it was meant for very young kids. Not teens.

No, I'm not funning you. It was on. I saw it.

Hope I hear some pennies dropping.

Pogle’s Wood?

It is from the 1960’s, but could have still been shown in the 1980’s - 1990’s.

It features tiny handmade characters in a natural woodland setting. There’s a slightly eerie vibe.

This kind of aesthetic persisted into the 80s/90s, especially in:

• Channel 4 children’s programming
• imported European shorts
• BBC experimental segments
