Frightening!

I remember watching this program as a child in the late 60's. I can remember feeling scared of Mr Squiggle because he used to get impatient and shout at the assistant when he was put in his rocket to go back to the moon! Also, the way that big pencil/nose used to stick out the front of the rocket gave me nightmares. Well, like taste, there is no accounting for fears. There were many programs of this type back then. Some of them are still going and have gone computer generated. They have lost the realism that brought me my fears. I bet, in some small way, that program contributed more to who I am today than all the politically correct TV tat I have seen as an adult. Oh yeah, I forgot about the blackboard. Another non PC title! That guy really frightened the bejeezus out of me when Miss Whoever wasn't quick enough to put a new canvas on his easel!!
