“TICKLE ON THE WHAT?” Overweening whimsy for small children set in the shop of a stereotypical English hamlet (called Tickle) and touched by the string-picking hand of singer RALPH McTELL. A different professional character (postman, teacher etc) dropped by each week for the usual song ‘n’ story treatment. The milkman was played by KENNY LYNCH.

I remember having an audio version of this, featuring the likes of Penelope Keith, as the school bus driver, attempting to retrieve the bus keys from a magpie and Joan Sims, as the WPC, removing a boy’s stuck head from between the park railings with the aid of a peanut butter sandwich.

Fairly watchable from what I remember, the later episodes had a puppet mascot character for no obvious reason other than to follow the trend set by too many cartoons in the 1980s.
