Four of us actually!
I was playing the Torchy theme tune to my daughter just the other week, (she thought I was mad) used to love Twizzle aswell.

Someone on here posted a great link some time back about all the old programes, they were all on there Olly the Owl and all.
It might be where Peter got the theme tunes from.

Those were the days 😀

[Marcella Ross]

I don’t remember Torchy or Twizzle?? How long ago was that?
But I remember the littlest hobo ….. vaguely.

How about this one, the ‘Singing Ringing tree’ used to spook me though that dwarf 🙁

the program was called PEEP-PEEP "The Boy from Space" he wrote in reverse….

here is the intro:

And that Singing ringing tree!!!!! Aaaaaaarrrgh! That dwarf was the only thing that did give me real nightmares. The Daleks never troubled me but that ruddy dwarf…………………….ewww, giving me the heebegeebies just thinking of it now.
