Think that was only Yorkshire TV area, bit like Gus Honeybun was only shown on TV South West

Sadly i dont recall it, but this is taken from the TV Cream website

MR TRIMBLE (MID 1970s)
ITV

KIDS' MISCELLANY in the slot before NEWS AT ONE. An old man (Trimble) lives in an attic flat with a robot in the corner and a puppet goldfish in a bowl (Glug). He's dressed not unlike Peter Cushing in the DR WHO films: fingerless gloves, horn-rimmed spectacles, dusy old burgundy jacket etc. The theme tune is a raucous affair sounding like it's being played on an analogue monophonic synth constructed in someone's bedroom, a la ROOBARB. The accompanying title sequence is a montage of colourfully animated images (including a butterfly and two kids on a see-saw) featuring the clown-like Trimble on a bike, which blend from one to the other.

I loved Mr Trimble, and The Pipkins, I watched these programmes when i came home for my lunch. Does anyone remember another 70's lunch time kids show, i cant remember the name of it but it started with wee mice on a witches windowsill singing When you got friends and neighbours well theres nothing bothering you, or something like that.
