Re: mary, mungo and midge

I used to watch Mary Mungo and Midge. It was on Watch with Mother at lunchtime I think. I remember going up in the lift, lol.

Re: mary, mungo and midge

I've got the whole of Mary, Mungo and Midge on DVD so it should be easy to get hold of. The ending theme is one of my favourite pieces of TV music. In my mind it so conjures up the time I was watching in the early 70s and the new town they were living in (and where I was growing up, too).

Yep must have been around 1970.Certainly was one of the last of the Watch With Mother series to be Introduced and so not quite the same nolstagia for me as some of the earlier sixties ones such as Bizzy Lizzy etc..Watching in the countryside I thought we were deprived not living in tower blocks.Who could have known that less than a decade later these buildings were to become undesirable slums.

Re: mary, mungo and midge

There were never any parents about; just Mary with her dog & mouse. She must have been about 10 so where were the social workers in all of this? lol

Re: mary, mungo and midge

I used to be glued to the TV screen when Midge was on. This is one of those programs that bring back some of those rare pre school memories. I can still see mum with the ironing board out or folding the clothes at the opposite end of the living room when this was on. The smell of the food on the cooker possibly for the nights main meal when and if dad got home from work, and the smell of the valves in the old radiogram and TV warming up. We had an open fire back then and I get memories of the fire crackling away to itself in the winter or on an old cold Autumn morning when I think about Mary,Mungo and Midge.
