5.0 out of 5 stars Solid gold 60s BBC, 17 Jan 2008

By	B. Adams (Surrey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I don't remember, watching this in 1968, the children continually looking off set for their cues or the occasional clumsy improvisation but these things just add to the naive beauty of this (apparently) live production which for me was never upstaged by the slicker 1970 film version, though I feel I have to compare the two.

Gostelow brings a gentle grotesquerie to the character of Perks which I prefer to the womble-like Cribbins. Gillian Bush Bailey's Phyllis was much sweeter and less toothy than Sally Thomsett's and in this version was looked after by the barely pubescent yet excellent Jenny Agutter's Bobby.

What ever happened to Neil McDermott? (No, this Neil McDermott!)

With monoaural sound and in black and white from often scratched film stock, not slick, not faultless but in my opinion THIS is the stuff children's TV is made on.
