Also, another oppurtunty to try to find out one of the mysteries of my life. Does anyone else (no-one does) remember a programme about a young lad who was ill off school (like glandular fever or something big) for aaaages. While off he wrote a computer game, which he sent off to Japan where it was really popular and one day he got a cheque for like £1million or somesuch. Programme is then about how he spends that money, his mum lets him spend the daily interest or something, at one point he buys a chauffered Rolls. Anyone?

Skippy the Bush Kangaroo (tch tch click click tch tch click... what Skippy? Old Mrs Perkin's toilet has exploded?)

pogle's wood (in fact - lots of oliver postgate's ace stuff)
