            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

              simply wonderful stories.
              I loved reading them to my kids.
              But I never read them as well as Oliver Postgate.

              Heres a jolly maritime theme.....

                    not a theme tune, but loved this, from "Vision On". Kinda ambient (ISH). After Satie, before Eno.

                            Same here and I don't think I've heard it for 40 odd years. A great tune.

                            I think Tales from the Riverbank alternated with Rag, Tag and Bobtail on a Thursday. Picture Book (with Muriel Young) didn't last beyond my childhood.

                            Anyone remember Torchy?
