70's lunchtime tv programmes - can you help?

Re: 70's lunchtime tv programmes - can you help?

I remember Picture Box being on around 9.30 in the morning (usually after some transmitter information and, in my area, the extended idents for either Thames or Anglia) as the start of programmes for schools and colleges. I can see the box going around now. I bet he shows The Red Balloon again. Good ol' Alan Rothwell, before he went bad in Brookie.

Yeah I remember Alan (couldn't his surname though) in Picture Box, and that the music was very haunting (or was I just a wuss as a small child?)

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned in a previous thread, but as we are talking about Schools & Colleges, who remembers Look & Read? There was one episode about a bloke (Asian fella with glasses?) who created some sort of weapon (was he a mad scientist?) and was after some sort of world domination, but was foiled ..... was it a laser type gun????

Ring any bells anyone?

Very old thread I know but could this be Something like Dodder Baldmoney and Sneezewort?

Re: 70's lunchtime tv programmes - can you help?

Baldmoney, Sneezewort, Dodder and Cloudberry (The Little Grey Men) would be my guess too. There's a youtube video sharing a small bit of the music for the series and it sounds pretty spot on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhaJa0nwtHM

Hi YTV, I am trying to get a copy of this (copy, buy, rent or even a loan). I cant locate it anywhere. It is a childhood favourite. Can you help me out? Many thanks Mers.
