Children's TV On Trial 1960s

At last!
Lady Penelope and friends - EXPOSED!
In this video, you can find out about kids' TV in the '60s, and see all the groovy psychedelica that leads us from one show segment to the next.

Be warned that this video contains footage from the most upsetting Thunderbirds episode ever made, The Perils Of Penelope, which sees my best Thunderbirds friend in a dangerous situation which will leave many fans of her in tears. In fact when I saw the first half of it after writing Missing Sisterhood the day before, I immediately gave up on watching it because of how emotional the story is - the young man punching me in the face, the bad dream of Penelope being consumed by demons, and Parker's story of his childhood friend Johnny and how he can see the moon to remind himself he is always there for him.

Luckily, other shows covered during the programme include:
Play School
Blue Peter
Trumptonshire
Tom & Jerry
The Magic Roundabout
Clangers.

Enjoy the show!
