One of the best from my childhood

This was probably the best Children's programmes along with Mr Benn, Mary mungo and midge bagpuss Very funny and educational in their own quite different ways. Crystal tips was different in that it relied entirely on music and vision. A bit of a hangover from the sixties. Very flower power and a bit psychedelic. Some thought wrongly the producers were inebriated. Just enjoy them for what they were and still are. British classics from yesteryear. 10 stars. No contest
