No your not going mad

the theme used to be something like "dear old hopperty, dear old hoppery" and at the beginging the girl would be swinging on the garden gate

My favourite programme when I was a nipper, Sara used to wind Hoppity up with a large key when his "diddily-dum diddily-dee" slowed down (rude not to I suppose) Hoppity is pictured as my avatar (don't ask why) Another good one was Twizzle 'cos my sister was terrified of Jiffy the Broomstick Man (she still is actually which is very sad for a 55 year old)
