I have fond memories of this series which came out when I was 15 so it clearly had a big impact on an impressionable imagination. I support the comments made elsewhere about imaginative backdrops and excellent narrative but the element that sticks in my mind was the 2-3 musical numbers in each show. I chased up with the BBC a couple of years ago hoping it might be made available via iPlayer and was informed that, sadly, they cannot locate the original tapes.
