Synopsis

The complete first series of this animated children's series in which Jamie, along with his faithfull dog Wordsworth, use a magic torch to travel to the magical Cuckoo Land.

From the back cover

Jamie is the proud owner of a rather special torch, which has magical powers. Every night when his mum calls out "sleep well Jamie!" he gets out of bed, picks up his magic torch and with his dog, Wordsworth, travels down a helter-skelter into the magical world of Cuckoo Land.

Here Jamie and Wordsworth meet some strange characters: Mr Boo, an absent-minded old gentleman, Jo-Jo, the odd-job man, Nutmeg, a rag doll, Officer Gotcha, the Cuckoo Land Constabulary, Strumpers Plunkett, Bulli Bundy and Wellibob. Together they have lots of adventures and Jamie's magical torch often helps to save the day. And all this before Jamie's mum discovers he is missing from his bed.

With 13 fantastic stories to watch, take a ride on the helter-skelter and join Jamie and Wordsworth on their exciting adventures in the magical word of Cuckoo Land.

Episodes:
"Mr Boo Loses a Mountain", "Nutmeg's House", "Let There Be Music", "Nutmeg's Box", "The Runaway Trombonium", "The Hair Stack", "Sym-phoney", "The Flying Rabbit", "The Magician's Hat", "The Wicked Wand", "The House of Wellibob", "National Wellibob Day", "Spade-Work".

Running time: 144 minutes approximately.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic! Not to be missed., 8 July 2001
By A Customer
"Jamie and the magic torch" surely belongs close to the top of the list of surreal children's television series of the late seventies. From the sleepy, silent moonlit street on which Jamie lives - we are catapulted (via the thundering and catcy who-could-forget-it piano music) into the totally contrasting world of colours and sounds where the adventures take place. Bizarre and often non-sensical plots, peculiar and abstract (yet devilishly inventive) characters, surreal dream-like background music and neverending landscapes with oddly-coloured trees and skies. Pure quality!

The picture on this DVD is shown in the original 4:3 ratio and the image is excellent - within the confines of it being a fairly old series, it proves to be sharp, clear and colourful with very little noise. Sound also is clear and bright.

Ace - the kids love this kind of retro stuff. It has a different kind of sensitivity to today's hard-and-fast world!

1.0 out of 5 stars Download the Theme tune an leave the prog to your memory, 30 July 2007
By A. A. Dainty (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It was with fond feelings that I bought a copy of Jamie and His Magic Torch having had the theme tune imprinted on my Brain. Unfortunately that is as far as my memory went.

As opposed to the excellent Danger Mouse or WIllo the Wisp, this is a kidz programme without any elements of interest for people over the age of 5. Like the Yellow Submarine without the origionality or the Beetles. You would need to be drunk or high to appreciate this now a days.

If you have children they may appreciate this but I would have thought they'd prefer something their friends have heard of.
