Tracey probably thinks you're crackers
Okay, I tried posting about this last night, but while I watched it, and the giggling made me incoherent. More incoherent than usual. Maybe.
Out of curiosity I went looking for some Look & Read/Words & Pictures stuff on YouTube and found the whole of Dark Towers here! It was v v funny. Even if you didn't have to watch this at primary school, ( Read more... )

But wow, you guys would get actual plots in between your lessons!
Yes! I don't mean to be annoying, but I think it has to be said, the BBC are pretty marvellous quite a lot of the time. :-) This was from their schools strand - both the BBC and ITV did pre-school stuff, normal children's TV but then BBC2 also had this separate schools strand that would be shown on a weekday morning (and teachers would record it and show them to their classes for the next ten years or so, heh.)
The L&R plots are what I remember - criminals hiding out on Exmoor, robbers and ghosts at Dark Towers, a lost alien being hunted down by terrifying other aliens, a wicked plot against a fairground, and so on. And there was Mr Magus Is Waiting, a Look and Read special that, from memory, would give Ghostlight a run for its money in stuff about weird and creepy old houses. Can't think why I wound up watching stuff like DW when I grew up. :-D
I've been haunted by Look & Read for years while trying to watch S18 and 19. And I knew why, it was that obvious, even to me.
